Yet again, researchers have found that women science students report receiving less mentorship support than do men. It’s too bad that they didn’t read the October, 2007 Scientiae Carnival on mentoring. They would have gotten an earful (or is it any eyeful?).

Also on the mentoring front, it is good to see MentorNet growing and prospering. Not only do they now have more than 3000 mentor pairs in over 100 colleges and universities), they are developing a portal for "Latinas in Computing” to provide direct access for Latinas studying or employed in computing sciences and engineering to participate in mentoring and networking. Let’s hear it for MentorNet!
