Call for Speakers
The BWIB Advocacy Committee is looking for women in the bioinformatics field to join our "Return to Work" panel in October 2026 (Date TBD).
We are seeking professionals to share their experiences after having taken a break in their careers, whether it was voluntary or involuntary (also includes professionals who have taken maternity leaves). We are hoping that your stories will help women going through the same journey right now and give them a direction on how they can navigate their careers.
Application deadline: August 31, 2026 at 11:59 pm EST
