concern or question expressed on pre-experience survey was: how can successfulwomen achieve work/life balance and have success in both family and career? Other commonconcerns expressed by participants on the pre-program surveys included: overcoming feelings of“inadequacy” or the imposter syndrome;1 how to speak up when silenced, interrupted, orignored; and how to negotiate for what participants need to be successful.The qualitative responses, both on the pre-program survey and from observations of discussionin the first session, suggest a deeper motivation for participating: many participants feel isolatedin their work. For the participants in this project, the presence of a structured and facilitatedprogram offered certain advantages over less

Using the experimental setup described above and shown in Fig. 1, we conducted experiments toexamine how spot sizes varied after one to five burns over the same spot, with burns ranging from 26 to29 ms in time. Using multiple, rapid burns produced consistent carbonized spots in the Kapton of lessthan 15µm in diameter, with many less than 10µm and some as small as 4 µm as seen in Fig. 1. Previousresearch on this project produced conducting lines that correlated strongly with the spot size of the beam,suggesting that conducting lines of less than 15µm are obtainable with continued study throughout thissemester.
