NOVEMBER QUESTION OF THE MONTH:
Science's Next Wave hosted the "Alternative Careers for Scientists" panel discussion at the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference last May. Read more about the panelists and their suggestions for future scientists at
http://nextwave.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2004/06/23/7

This month's question for students and mentors to ponder is what are the alternative careers for scientists other than "bench science," and why is scientific training valuable? You can give examples from the panelists quoted in the article or in your own life. Each GEM-SET member who responds by December 1st will receive a 2005 Women's Health Calendar.
