International Women’s Day – Challenges we face as researchers

For this year’s International Women’s day (March 8), we would like to compile testimonies from the women in our community relating to the challenges they faced during their careers as a researcher (from work, family, friends, strangers…) and how they overcame them. Help us raise awareness and fight for a better future for women in academic research!

What specific challenges have you encountered as a woman in the field of research, and how have you overcome them? (please add as much information you feel confortable with sharing):

I allow the NCCR Evolving Language:
