STEM Workshop on Patterns in Scientific Authorship Set for Thursday

Patterns of authorship in biology may be changing in the era of big data. These patterns may affect career development.

Shannon McCauley, professor at the University of Toronto Mississauga, will discuss issues of authorship and co-authorship, including who is and is not offered co-authorship, during Having It All: A STEM Work-Life Workshop. The workshop will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 15 in Gearhart Hall 102. All students, faculty and staff are welcome to attend.

A pizza social in Gearhart Hall 258, the Honors College Lounge, will follow the workshop. Registration is appreciated to ensure pizza supplies, but it is not required for attendance.

McCauley is a freshwater ecologist studying the forces structuring the communities inhabiting these environments. She completed her doctorate at the University of Michigan. She then completed post-doctoral work at the University of California-Davis and the University of Toronto. 

McCauley began her position at University of Toronto Mississauga in 2012. While there, she has recruited a diverse group of scientists with whom she collaborates to advance the understanding of freshwater communities.

The workshop is sponsored by the Graduate School and International Education and the Association for Women in Science. The Association for Women in Science plans to offer more STEM Work-Life Workshops. Each workshop will target an obstacle limiting the advancement of underrepresented groups in STEM careers, and provide tips on how to navigate these barriers.
