Vielen lieben Dank!

Gender equality in research publishing is a responsibility for everyone A concerted effort is needed to support women in their choice of journal when submitting their manuscript.

Women make up only 16% of corresponding authors who submit to Nature, a new Springer Nature analysis revealed. This is not enough - there are 30-40% #womeninSTEM

We want to change it, through targeted editorial policies & outreach. But change will take everyone!

Boston's skyline

Starting an exciting new chapter—I'll be spending all of 2025 in Boston as a visiting graduate student in the labs of Kerry Ressler and Torsten Klengel at McLean Hospital.

Managed to pack 2 suitcases now for 1 year in the US. Luckily, I can store some things in Bergen

The image shows a modern dining or meeting room with a wooden table and chairs. The room has large floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of a snowy mountainous landscape. The ceiling features a slatted wood design with embedded warm lighting.

I had to update the handle in the settings after debugging on the website already mentioned in the comments

Merci!
