Dear colleagues, I am forwarding information on a virtual mentoring program
for women in Physics called the Supernova Foundation. The program is global
with a focus on students from developing countries. Applications are open
to join the program as a mentor (researchers) or mentee (for undergraduate
or postgraduate students).

Supernova Foundation was supported under the previous OAD call for
proposals.

To:

The gender gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
fields is a serious international societal problem which needs to be
addressed. Many women, particularly women in developing countries, do not
usually have access to women role models to inspire and guide them. It is
extremely challenging, in an environment dominated by men, for women of
many cultures to find mentors they can easily talk to and get advice from.
We aim to remedy this by connecting women students in Physics to
established women researchers around the world to receive mentoring.

The Supernova Foundation aims to:

   - Provide personal mentorship for women students (with a focus on
   students from developing countries) as they transition to postgraduate
   studies by established women physicists.
   - Provide guidance on various topics including: career choices,
   application process, CVs, work-life balance and gender-specific harassment.
   - Connect and provide a support network for women in Physics across the
   globe at different stages of their career.
   - Host and record webinars with useful advice and interesting discussion.

If you are an ambitious woman student (undergraduate or postgraduate) in
Physics who would like to achieve her full potential with the help of
internationally established mentors, please apply as a mentee
<https://www.supernovafoundation.org/menteeapplication>!

If you are an established woman Physicist (already holding a PhD and
working in a Physics-related field) who would like to share her knowledge
and experience with students from all around the world and connect to other
established women scientists, please apply as a mentor
