On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science we proudly present to you: our roving scientist. She supports women scientists during their maternity leave, which often happens during a crucial phase in their careers. While in many other professions temporary replacement is common practice, women in science often see their experiments (and careers) come to a halt when away from their projects. Our roving scientist Angelina Huseinovic can now step in to ensure that crucial experiments can continue, supporting the careers and well-being of our women scientists.
A huge shout-out to our diversity, equity and inclusion committee for initiating this innovative solution, and to all of our colleagues who’s overwhelming support made this happen!
