Family and work interactions

Brought to you by the ASBMB Membership Committee

Feb. 12, 2021

ASBMB members came together for a community conversation centered on family and work interactions. Nathan L. Vanderford, assistant professor at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, got us started, and participants then broke into four groups to discuss:

  • Parenting
  • When your spouse/partner is your colleague
  • Long-distance relationships
  • Adult caregiving
