Women scientists are publishing amazing research, but too often, the media doesn’t pick it up.

One reason? Women feel less at ease talking to journalists. That hesitation shapes who gets seen, heard, and celebrated.

Let’s make science coverage more inclusive. 👩‍🔬

We crave definitive answers. Yet Science- and Life itself- thrive on #uncertainty.

In this article, I explore how embracing and communicating uncertainty in #science can be a powerful tool, not only in the lab but also in the way we navigate everyday life.
