• Physics Department.
• Astronomy Department.
• Geology and Geophysics Department.
• Earth and Planetary Science Department

Science Clubs at Berkeley:

• The Society of Physics Students is an undergraduate organization dedicated to making Berkeley a better place to study physics. SPS organizes seminars, lunches, social events, lab tours, and field trips as well as hosting general fun in its office, 275 LeConte.
• The Society of Women Engineers is a Berkeley branch of a national organization of women engineers.  The Berkeley group sponsors engineering related events throughout the year.
  

Other Sites Inside Berkeley:

• The Student Learning Center (SLC) is the best place to find a tutor for free. Also, look into the supplementary workshops they have for specific classes. The SLC also holds seminars and workshops every week.
• Research@Berkeley is UC Berkeley’s own undergraduate research website. Find out the kinds of research professors are conducting and take part in their projects.
• California Digital Library gives you access to numerous databases.  Check out the INSPEC database which includes almost all physics-related articles.

National Science Organizations:

• The American Physical Society is the trade association for physicists.  This organization lobbies on behalf of science, sponsors conferences, keeps track of the state of the profession, and publishes several useful magazines and newsletters, among them:
  • An e-mail newsletter called "WIPHYS."  It contains ongoing discussions of issues of interest to women in physics, notification of upcoming conferences, job postings, and many other useful nuggets of information.  To subscribe or learn more about the newsletter please see: http://www.aps.org/educ/cswp/wiphys.htm.
  • The above WIPHYS newsletter is only one activity of the APS's  Committee on the Status of Women in Physics (CSWP) which was founded in 1972 to "address the production, retention, and career development of women physicists and gather and maintain data on women in physics in support of these objectives."
  • As a member of the APS you will also receive Physics Today, a magazine which has more journalistic type articles on physics and the physics community.
• The American Astronomical Society is the APS counterpart for astronomers. It offers deeply reduced membership fees for students and a comprehensive page that includes information on astronomy careers and internships. The very active AAS Committee on the Status of Women in Astronomy publishes a weekly e-newsletter called "AASWOMEN" and a twice-yearly print newsletter called "STATUS".
• The American Association of University Women.
• The Association for Women in Science.
• MentorNet offers free email-based mentoring to undergraduate and graduate students, focusing on women in science and engineering.

National Fellowship Opportunities:

• The Graduate Fellowship Network at Cornell University has descriptions of and links to many fellowships offered specifically for women. This is an excellent place to start looking for graduate fellowships.
• The National Physical Science Consortium (NPSC) provides graduate fellowships for women in the physical sciences.
• The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an U.S. government agency responsible for promoting science and engineering through programs that invest over $3.3 billion per year in almost 20,000 research and education projects in science and engineering. Apply for their fellowships!

Applying to Graduate School:

• SWPS Guide to Grad School Applications by Lindley Winslow, Jennifer Hoffman and Lauren Tompkins. We walk you through the process of deciding whether to go, figuring out where to apply, taking the GREs, writing your statement, gathering your letters, and (once you get those offers) making the final decision.
• Applying to Graduate School by Fran Bagenal at the University of Colorado, from the January 2004 issue of STATUS (the publication of the American Astronomical Society's Committee on the Status of Women in Astronomy). Lots of good insights from professors.
• Guide to Graduate Fellowships by Julie Comerford of the astro department.
• Things You Should Know About a Graduate School from the astro department at Indiana University.
