Q: (Initially posted February 26, 2004) FROM
STUDENT MEMBER ELIZABETH A. IN CO
I am a senior this year. I am wondering if I should go into
the agricultural side of biotechnology? I have had four years
of agriculture at my high school. I want to help the farmers
and [am looking at careers that would connect to the farming
industry in a positive way.] If you have any suggestions tell
me. Thank you. |

A: FROM MENTOR NANCY WHITE IN
WA
There is a great need for scientists in agriculture. I work
with an
organization called the Consultative Group on International
Agricultural
Research -- particularly with their gender and diversity efforts
and there
is a large need for more women in this field. If you'd like
to know more, I
encourage you to look at the CGIAR G&D page:
http://www.genderdiversity.cgiar.org/
(I'd also be happy to link you up
with some women working in this field around the world! I
bet they would
love to hear from YOU!)
