History
A group of women were unhappy with the lack of recognition in ASCB. In 1971, Virginia Walbot gathered a group of women to meet at the annual ASCB meetings and WICB began. The goal was to provide a space for women to talk and network with other women in the field, learn about job opportunities, and promote women in academia. Newsletters were distributed containing job listings and news of powerful women in biology. Originally, WICB was not accepted by ASCB; the newsletter was not funded and later discontinued in the 1970s.[1] WICB was established as a committee within ASCB in 1994.
Activities
Currently, MICB annually at ASCB meetings and has a column in the ASCB newsletter.[2] The goals of WCIB are to nominate and give awards and communicate through the newsletter.[3]
