A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the first annual (I hope) Unsummit, organized by Yamana Science. Yamana was founded by mom, scientist and powerhouse Kennen Salinero, and describes itself as follows:
“Yámana Science & Technology is an organization that envisions a science culture where both people and ideas flourish in the presence of effective support, balanced lifestyles, and thriving workplaces.”
The Unsummit pulled together a creative group of scientists and organizational thinkers to dream up and hopefully one day act upon a new way of doing science – from basic cultural changes in the way science is carried out to practical changes including work-life balance. It is all related really.
If you are devoted to science and to change check them out and begin to take charge of what we do and how we do it.
Hi folks,

It is a great idea. Hope something comes of it…the more people who get involved in one way or another the better!
Science with balance, a welcome change. Thank you for sharing this site.
Like I wrote earlier, hopefully it’ll grow. If you are interested, might be good to get in touch with them directly if you haven’t already) – they’ll put you on a mailing list etc.
