Career strategist and author Melissa Lawrence presents a science-backed method for building a meaningful career within matrixed scientific organizations. Grounded in behavioral science and industry research, Your Worthy Career moves beyond generic career advice to address how advancement actually works in science-driven environments. The book provides a structured framework for making intentional career moves, increasing visibility in cross-functional teams, and identifying growth opportunities that don’t follow traditional career ladders. In Your Worthy Career, readers will learn how to: assess roles and opportunities based on fit, influence, and long-term direction; build strategic visibility with stakeholders in matrixed organizations; navigate cross-functional decision-making and competing priorities and recognize and pursue non-linear career paths within scientific organizations. While written with pharma and biotech professionals in mind, the framework is applicable to careers across science, engineering, healthcare, and other research-driven fields.

The SFPE Foundation and its co-hosting partners invite researchers, practicing professionals, and experts to submit abstracts for the 2026 WUI Fire Engineering Summit. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your innovative projects, cutting-edge research, and valuable insights in the fire protection and safety engineering field. The abstract submission process allows the Program Committee to select presentations and posters for inclusion in the conference program. It will enable them to identify relevant and high-quality content that aligns with the objectives and highly technical focus of the conference. Presentation abstracts should provide sufficient scope and results to determine the quality and applicability of the engineering concepts that would be presented. Presentations must be noncommercial in nature. All abstracts will be reviewed by a panel of experts and independently rated.

There’s still time to nominate a woman engineer who inspires you! There are many women engineers who are not famous, even in their own niche, and deserve recognition for the impact they have made as engineers and individuals. They are the unsung women we know and cherish and who we want others to know. They are ordinary women engineers who have made significant contributions and who lead interesting and fulfilling lives, but are not necessarily famous and may not have received other recognition. They are women who work behind the scenes, not in the limelight, but who make real change in the workplace and in our communities. Take a moment and nominate a woman engineer whose story is one that you feel SWE and others should hear.
