Her research wasn\u2019t progressing in the way she hoped, and she felt like she was falling behind her peers. She seriously questioned whether she could be both a good scientist and a good mother. However, her supervisor \u2013 also a woman and now EMBL Director General \u2013 offered reassurance and encouragement, reminding Agnese that both her experiences and her reactions to those experiences were normal. Things would get better. Science needed her and she could weather this balancing act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/uis.unesco.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/fs55-women-in-science-2019-en.pdf\">UNESCO data<\/a>, fewer than 30% of the world\u2019s researchers are women, even though this is a career choice that can offer some flexibility \u2013 for example in working hours \u2013 that is not available to women in other careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Agnese found out, her supervisor, Edith Heard, was right about her ability to forge ahead, but she also proffered a lesson that most, if not all, women in science ultimately learn: support systems are critical.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year 2020 tested people around the globe, but for women in science many challenges were magnified. This is why EMBL chose to host a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/events\/taking-charge-by-seeking-ways-to-achieve-gender-balance\/?_ga=2.193196782.2133047205.1612254438-709001375.1602155308\">one-day virtual conference<\/a> about the impacts of the pandemic on women in science, and what might be done to address these. Many speakers and participants stressed the need to build a community of allies and a support network of people who can advise and sustain a woman throughout her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was in this particularly trying year that both Agnese and another EMBL postdoc, Camille Goemans, were awarded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forwomeninscience.com\/\">L\u2019Or\u00e9al\u2013UNESCO For Women in Science fellowships<\/a>. Created in 1998, these fellowships are intended to recognise women scientists who are juggling family demands or overcoming gender bias to produce exceptional science. Both Agnese and Camille noted that, as mothers in science, they\u2019ve relied heavily on support networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven the fellowship itself introduced me to other women at the same stage in their careers with whom I could share my own doubts and difficulties, as well as a shared determination to be good scientists,\u201d recounts Agnese, who explores the X chromosome in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/heard\/\">EMBL\u2019s Heard group<\/a> to better understand how the genome is regulated and controlled. \u201cI\u2019m only at the beginning of my career and consider myself very lucky to have met many inspiring and generous women along the way \u2013 all my heroes, giving me a lot of good vibes and energy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Camille, supportive networks have included not just group leaders, but also a husband who set aside his own career to give her the space to focus on her research at this critical juncture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s important to realise that, as long as women are expected to spend more time than men on home duties or with their children, they will never feel equal in the workplace,\u201d says Camille, a postdoc who divides her time between caring for two children under the age of five and researching the emergence of antibiotic resistance in gut microbes in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/typas\/\">EMBL\u2019s Typas group<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been very lucky to work in environments where I never felt discriminated against for being a woman or a parent. I\u2019ve had great group leaders \u2013 both for my PhD and my postdoc \u2013 who were very supportive of both my career and family choices. Overall, I think it\u2019s extremely important to be happy and fulfilled to do good science, so I don\u2019t think it is a good strategy to put your personal life on hold in the name of science.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November, Agnese participated in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmbf.de\/de\/impulse-fuer-europa-chancengerechte-strukturen-und-vielfalt-in-der-forschung-11412.html\">panel discussion<\/a> about the challenges for women in science, which was sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. She too noted how members of scientific leadership can act as allies to women, and can signal their encouragement with the policies and services they provide to allow women researchers to do their best work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEMBL, for example, is very child friendly; most supervisors have children of their own and understand that young scientists want children too,\u201d Camille notes.&nbsp;\u201cWe have our own day care centre here and a kindergarten.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Networking, allyship, and mentoring among women is something that must begin early on. Already, postdocs Agnese and Camille find themselves advising those at earlier stages in their careers, whether it\u2019s offering encouragement or sharing tips for mastering the balancing act of family and career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo me, the most important step towards equality is the education of young girls around the world, where they should get the idea that they will have the opportunity to access any job in the future and that nothing is \u2018only for men\u2019,\u201d Camille says. \u201cThat\u2019s why we need visible role models, like female group leaders and women in higher management of research institutes. But it\u2019s also just as important to see male group leaders pushing for more equality towards women and promoting the idea that having a family and doing science are not mutually exclusive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"vf-divider\"\/>\n\n\n<p><em>Celebrate women in science!
