Women and Girls in Science Day

Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The NCCR SPIN supports women at all stages of their career, for example with the INSPIRE Potentials Master's Fellowships. Introduced in 2021, the fellowship’s goal is to empower excellent female students to conduct their Master's research project in a laboratory belonging to the NCCR SPIN.

Meet our first three INSPIRE Potentials Fellows in an interview today: Why are they passionate about their scientific work? What obstacles did they encounter? And what are their plans for the future?

Don’t be scared to turn your life around at any time and completely change your field of study, education or work – you are never too old to follow the path you think is best for your future and mental health.

Interview with Rhea Hoyer, INSPIRE Potential SPIN Master’s fellow 2021

Be yourself, leverage your strength and try things out.

Interview with Lisa Sommer, INSPIRE Potential SPIN Master’s fellow 2021

Find a role model. I can assure you that it really helps to remind you what you can accomplish.
