Coming back to Groningen after two days of policy discussions and a general assembly with our Initiative for Science in Europe member organisations, as a proud and energised (but also tired) president😊 These are difficult and uncertain times for many, including scientists.

Women’s rights do not advance on their own.

They are won through persistence and can easily be lost without vigilance.
Gender equality doesn’t just 'happen.'

Women’s rights must be fought for and protected.

Our responsibility is clear.

To lead by example and create a world where opportunities are fair for all.

Not just today, but every single day.

UG Makers: Moniek Tromp built a tabletop version of a synchrotron to observe atoms on the inside! ⚛️

It allows Tromp to do most of the measurements within her own lab, instead of large scale facilities with limited availability 👇
