There is a growing need to recognize, support, and promote diversity within scientific disciplines. Moms in Proteomics was founded to connect mothers in proteomics, a field exemplifying the constituent elements of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) from academia to industry, share stories of successes and challenges, and build a community of mothers in highly productive and influential careers.
