About Me - Dr Shara B.A. Cohen I have been interested in science for longer than I care to remember, being a member of the British Association of Young Scientists from the age of 15. In the 80's I studied Applied Biology (BSc-1985) and went on to focus on Immunology (PhD-1989). I then took my research to New York for a few years, returning to the UK in 90's where I became a senior scientist, university lecturer and head of a research group. I left mainstream science on the birth of my first daughter in 2000 and established and currently manage Euroscicon . I also founded and oversee Mums in Science. I have over 100 publications, including scientific papers, books and book chapters and have been active in bringing science to the non-scientist, by written communications and television. I am also a scientific consultant and sit on several advisory boards. I live in London with my husband, two daughters and two cats If you want to know even more about me (why?) please click here

About My Work
I run a company called Euroscicon which specializes in producing unique Life Science Events. Our meetings offer scientists a valuable opportunity to move forward with current research, methodological and technical developments, with a good mix of high quality talks from both academic speakers and companies. I also established the popular science portal - Mums in Science - for busy mums who work or have worked in any area of science (and am currently the Chief Executive Officer). More information about Euroscicon and Mums in Science can be found in the right hand column My sites

Mums had heart failure (again), my dads just been diagnosed with cancer, the kids are on school holidays, my 5 year old is seeing double and business is as usual. If this had happened a year ago I think that the business would have suffered quite badly, its not easy being a small business owner especially when you are also doing the role of a full time mum, with no childcare to a toddler and a child in reception. So when your time is stretched to the limit with personal matters day to day business matters go by the wayside. more »

Five weeks a go my PR advisor suggested that I start a personal blog so that people get to know more about me and my work. Very enthusiastically I bought the name, designed how it would look and started writing the articles. The advice was not to write anything too personal: it should not be about how I juggle full time motherhood (my husband works fulltime and we have no childcare, my work is juggled around school and nursery times, evenings and all weekends), or anything about my personal life, but a focused blog about building the company, my thoughts of where we are going and how we have come this far etc.
However in the five weeks that have passed I have had three personal experiences which have affected the way that I view both work and home and I thought I would share these with you.
