Hi #academicbsky I’m new here and want to introduce myself. I’m a researcher in bio-inspired materials at #UniBasel designing new hydrogels to aid bioengineering applications. As a physical chemist I am also examining how we build these materials from the single molecule level. Happy to be here :)

Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.
Gender and retention patterns among U.S. faculty
Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.

And just like that 4 years in the Chemistry Dept @unibas.ch is over. I had so many great experiences and worked with truly wonderful scientists! There are lots of exciting things on the horizon for 2025 and I’ll post about them in good time but for now a bit of well earned holiday is on the cards!
