I'm four months pregnant and haven't told anyone at work. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this secret. However, I'm up for a big project and worried I'll be passed over if my boss finds out I'm pregnant. Is it wrong to keep this secret from my employer?

Keep the secret if you are concerned about it. I would give them some kind of notice when it gets close to time, but generally speaking, you don’t owe it to explain early on. Especially if you are worried about being passed over because of it.

I wish we didn't have to feel this way in the workplace anymore, but I totally felt the same last year when I had to announce my own pregnancy. It's not wrong to keep it a secret, technically there's no legal requirement to tell them. But I think if you want maternity leave, you'll want to tell them sooner than later so you can arrange for time off. I would probably tell them no later than 6 months.

Women shouldn't have to feel this way, but I understand that what should happen and what does are different. I'm sorry you have to deal with that injustice.

You don't really owe anybody information about your private life, but will you be able to stick it out to see the project through? Will the stress of it impact your health? I'm less worried about your job than I am about your well-being!

I say keep it a secret , when you are ready to disclose that information you can however you do not owe your employer an explanation into your personal life. I have a coworker that kept her pregnancy a secret up until recently , She didn't tell until recently that she was 8 months pregnant.

It's not unethical, and it's none of your employer's business that you're pregnant. Keep your secret as long as you think you need to.

In honor of National Voter Registration Day, The New Yorker released the transcript of a previously unpublished interview with James Baldwin, who gave a first-hand account of "Freedom Day 1963," a Black voter-registration drive in Selma, Alabama. Baldwin's descriptions from that day are so vivid and detailed that you can feel the fear and anger of the event. If you have a couple of minutes, I highly recommend you read it.

Hi all! I recently finished my Masters in Biology. I worked on a few studies with human subjects as well as animal work. I am hoping to get a job in clinical research as either a CRC or CRA. I previously worked at a doctors office as a care manager for 4 years, but outside of my academic work I don’t have experience in research. What advice do you all have for entering the field in my position?

I’m looking to transition from an academic medical center to pharma or a biotech. I have about 8 years of clinical research experience overall — 7 years combined as a CRC (CRC I, CRC II, and senior CRC) and 1 year as a PM. I’m also recently ACRP-CP certified.
