Science has rules. Careers have exceptions. Women in science usually learn both at the same time.
The Venture Center Library is pleased to host an Author Talk with Dr. Karishma Kaushik, marking the launch of The Real Deal: Lessons, Learnings, and Laughter for Girl Scientists—a book that treats scientific careers less like finished results and more like work perpetually under review.
