Every 23rd of April I buy a book (it is Book Day in Spain). This is the one I picked this year.
The pile of books is not small, but this will jump the queue for sure

👩🔬 Por que participan máis científicos que científicas nos medios de comunicación?
Entre os principais obstáculos, o 23% das investigadoras vense afectadas pola conciliación persoal e familiar. Coñece os detalles desta desigualdade no seguinte artigo 👇

A conciliación impide que as científicas participen nos medios tanto como os homes
A situación persoal e familiar é o obstáculo que atopan o 23% das investigadoras para divulgar fronte ao 10% do sexo masculino

First week back to "normal" after Christmas for me. Re-organising experiments due to some issues in the lab, and when I thought everything was sorted, another "surprise" arises. Not a good one
