A member of the EMBL Teen<\/a> community has made identifying leaf diseases on grapevines as easy as taking a picture with a smartphone, and it\u2019s why she\u2019s making news<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Maria-Theresa Licka\u2019s work with teen collaborator Mario Schweikert has them looking forward to March, when they\u2019ll present their app at the Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence virtual AI Conference 2021. The two of them won the jury prize in Germany\u2019s national artificial intelligence competition for pupils last November, which was an improvement over the previous year when they did not qualify for the final round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria-Theresa and Mario persevered through the disappointment of not reaching the final stages of the competition in 2019. For their entry in 2020 they harnessed AI, using smartphone pictures to detect and differentiate vine leaf diseases. They started with more than 5,000 pictures of leaves infested with algae and fungi during different seasons, classifying the photos with help from the Dienstleistungszentrum L\u00e4ndlicher Raum: a centre for rural services. This enabled them to create a dataset to teach the AI system that they now use in their app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach year in Germany, more than 3,000 tonnes of herbicides and pesticides are spread in vineyards. We want to reduce this,\u201d Maria-Theresa says, noting that their app allows a more targeted approach. \u201cTo detect and classify a vine leaf disease, you only have to open our app and take a photo of the leaf. The app provides updated information about the disease and shows current local spreads of different diseases for winemakers. This makes agriculture not only more sustainable but also more efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, just like the grapevines that need support to thrive, Maria-Theresa has found that support has been critical in her fledgling STEM experiences. She joined the EMBL Teen community \u2013 which is part of the Friends of EMBL<\/a> Programme \u2013 in 2018, a year before her entr\u00e9e into the AI competitions. From EMBL Science Movie Night<\/a> and an EMBL Insight lecture<\/a> to being an EMBL Teen reporter at European Researchers\u2019 Night<\/a>, she had the opportunity to interact with scientists in various ways. Her most notable interaction came the following year when she met Malvika Sharan, then a computational biologist at EMBL Heidelberg; now a research associate and community manager at the Alan Turing Institute: the UK\u2019s national institute for data science and artificial intelligence. Malvika invited Maria-Theresa to her lab, providing mentorship in a variety of ways. It was a relationship that gave her both know-how and self-confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring these visits I got a good feel for her work as a Bio-IT community coordinator and computational biologist,\u201d Maria-Theresa recalls. \u201cShe introduced me to her EMBL team and community. She also taught me some coding and how to use GitHub<\/a> [a software development tool that also facilitates collaboration] \u2013 both things that were very helpful to my follow-on projects in AI<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Malvika\u2019s perspective, it\u2019s about supporting a new generation of female scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel humbled to know that I had any impact on her,\u201d Malvika says. \u201cMaria-Theresa has always been curious to learn about new computational concepts, and next thing you know, she does something extremely amazing with it \u2013 like building a prize-winning app! What is even more striking is that she cares about using technology to bring a positive impact on society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMBL Teens have also created a wider web of other young STEM-interested girls like Maria-Theresa, combined with succesful women in science who are helping them build self-confidence and showing them ways to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMalvika encouraged me to stay focused and not get discouraged by obstacles that can arise for women in science,\u201d says Maria-Theresa, recalling specifically that moment in 2019 when she and her partner just missed making the AI competition finals. \u201cMalvika was a great mentor and teacher, but also an inspiration. She has gone from a childhood in India to working as community manager at the Alan Turing Institute in London. Malvika truly inspires me with her success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malvika also encouraged Maria-Theresa to create her own YouTube Channel, INFOrmAtIc Teens<\/a>. Maria-Theresa\u2019s concept is to continue publishing small tutorials for other students who want to start coding, explaining some mathematics behind the code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need diverse voices, ideas, and representations to bring real change and innovation in STEM,\u201d Malvika says. \u201cSo, dear girls, find ways to support, acknowledge, encourage, and promote each other for new opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experience did encourage Maria-Theresa to \u2018pay it forward\u2019 in other ways, like a podcast interview she did recently about her experiences in science and her dreams for the future: one more voice to encourage other budding female scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a child I was always interested in informatics and robotics \u2013 courses not \u2018typically\u2019 for girls, so I was often the only female. Even at a student trip in 2018 to Silicon Valley, there were only two girls and 17 boys,\u201d Maria-Theresa says. \u201cThe numbers continue to grow \u2013 even just within the past two years. Women are capable of doing informatics, data science, and AI, but society has a way of discouraging them. Thankfully, we have successful female researchers to show us the way, like my role models Marie Curie, Jennifer Doudna, and Emmanuelle Charpentier, who I personally look up to and who have enriched science so much. These women inspire and encourage me about the future of women in science.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This building of confidence and skills is exactly what the EMBL Teen programme hopes for, explains Barbara Solich, the programme manager leading this effort. The programme invites local teenagers interested in various aspects of molecular biology to participate in EMBL activities and to get to know EMBL scientists, enabling EMBL Teens to learn and start building a supportive network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, members of the Friends of EMBL network provide crucial support to EMBL projects and initiatives. For example, because of their annual donations, EMBL recently launched the Leadership and Excellence for Aspiring Postdocs<\/a> (LEAP) Mentorship Programme to foster the talent of women as they advance in their scientific careers towards leadership positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science this year, I\u2019m heartened by stories like Maria-Theresa\u2019s,\u201d Barbara says. \u201cWhen we work together and support one another through mentoring and opportunities that bring us together, smart young female scientists get the chance to succeed that they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n\n

Celebrate Women in Science! <\/em>Between International Day of Women and Girls in Science, 11 February, and International Women\u2019s Day, 8 March, EMBL encourages you, as an individual or part of a group, to strike the #ChooseToChallenge pose with your hand high to show your commitment to choosing to challenge inequality, pledging to call out bias and actively question stereotypes. Share your pledge on Twitter using #ChooseToChallenge and tag @EMBL.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article is the first of a three-part series to spotlight how mentoring and other relationships fortify what women and girls are able to accomplish, often because of the networks they build and the skills they develop, which sustain confidence and provide new opportunities.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
