Win4Science is an initiative that aims to increase awareness regarding challenges that women in science face, as well as to hack the gender gap by providing tools to young investigators to overcome barriers and obstacles. With the mentoring program, we hope to create a community, provide female role models, as well as networking opportunities between female scientists from Biological and Biomedical Departments across McGill University and beyond.
Mentoring groups consisting of one mentor and 3-5 mentees are expected to meet about 3 times per academic year. Composition of mentoring groups will change every year so that mentees will be exposed to several mentors and peers throughout their training years.We are looking for mentors (Assistant/Associate/Full professors, postdocs or professionals working outside academia) and mentees (graduate students, postdocs, early investigators, etc.) who will ACTIVELY participate in the mentorship program.
We also have professionals working outside academia that have agreed to take part in the mentoring program as mentors. If you wish to have a non-academic mentor, please indicate it in the "special requests" question at the end of this form. Priority will be given to those near graduation.
If you are interested, please sign up.
Mentors and mentees will receive more detailed instructions through the coordinator of the program, Jasmine Phenix (
