Had the pleasure to return to the @oldoptheatre.bsky.social this week to give a talk on the forgotten female pioneers of neuroscience in the run up to international woman's day. #womeninstem #neuroscience #neuroskyence #thisiswhatascientistlookslike

Talked about careers in science—& the beauty of the microbial world (&yeast!)—with 120 6th graders in Maine yesterday. It surprises me that one of their main takeaways was that scientists don’t all look like Einstein. But how cute was this drawing one child did of me?! #thisiswhatascientistlookslike

Das JCF Team Chancengleichheit hat wieder unter #ThisIsWhatAScientistLooksLike um Einsendungen gebeten. Dieses Mal unter dem Motto "Chemiker*innen mit Behinderung". Als Ergänzung zum Thema auch interessant, die "Karriere mit Barriere" Episode vom JCF-Podcast AllesChlor!
Dr. Falk Seidel Organometallische Chemie "Eine Behinderung zieht sich für viele Betroffene deutlich durch alle Aspekte des Lebens. Dass sich Behinderung individuell sehr verschieden auswirken kann, macht dies im Umgang nicht einfacher. Uns eine faire Chance geben und uns inklusiv am Leben teilnehmen zu lassen, ist, wenn gewollt, möglich und oft auch nicht schwer.- Auch in der Chemie!" Jojo P. Physikalische Chemie e 4 "Behindert in MINT bedeutet für mich, das zu machen, was mich interessiert und mir Spaß macht, trotz der vielen Barrieren. Es bedeutet für mich auch, aktivistisch zu sein, um Barrieren für alle nachfolgenden behinderten Chemiker*innen abzubauen!" "(Neuro-)diversität ist eine unglaubliche Bereicherung für die Wissenschaft, bedeutet aber auch viel anzuecken. Gerade mit einer unsichtbaren Behinderung fällt man oft unters Radar. Dadurch wird man häufig nicht ernst genommen oder traut sich nicht, nach einem Nachteilsausgleich zu fragen. Ich liebe es aber, dass ich durch die Neurodivergenz um ganze andere Ecken denke und dadurch neue Perspektiven einbringen kann." Melina, Chemikerin Vanessa H.* Chemikerin "Studierende müssen früh für das Thema Gesundheitsförderung und Härtefallantrag durch die Unis informiert und sensibilisiert werden. Nicht bei jeder*m ist eine Erkrankung ersichtlich. Nicht jede*r möchte darüber offen sprechen. Nicht jede*r weiß, dass für erkrankte Studierende bestimmte Möglichkeiten geschaffen werden können, sie im Laboralltag zu unterstützen."

Ob sichtbar im Rollstuhl sitzend, neurodivergent oder mit unsichtbarer Behinderung - auch in den Naturwissenschaften gibt es Menschen mit Behinderung, die maßgeblich zum wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt beitragen. ♿👩‍🔬🧏‍♂️👨‍🔬👩‍🦯📷#ThisIsWhatAScientistLooksLike @jungchemikerforum.bsky.social

Kollage mit neun Chemiker*innen Maya B. Life Science "Behindert in MINT bedeutet für mich, zu versuchen trotz erhöhter Herausforderung, den Ansprüchen an gesunde Menschen gerecht zu werden." Dr. Lukas Guggolz, Computerchemiker in der Anorganik "Meine Behinderung spielt in meinem Arbeitsalltag im Grunde keine Rolle. Das ist das Verdienst aller beteiligten Personen. Wir müssen Studien- und Arbeitsbedingungen schaffen, um talentierten Menschen mit Behinderungen, die sich das bisher trotz der nötigen Fähigkeiten nicht zugetraut haben, den Einstieg in die MINT-Fächer zu ermöglichen." Tamara, Lebensmittelchemie "Mir wurde von Anfang an gesagt, dass ich wahrscheinlich nie mehr als den Hauptschulabschluss erreichen würde, da meine Neurodivergenz einen großen Einfluss auf meine schulischen Leistungen hatte. Seit Oktober 2022 bin ich [an der JLU Gießen im Studiengang Lebensmittelchemie] eingeschrieben und habe große Freude am Fach."

Little me loved to read, learn, think, and talk about big ideas with big people. Today, I have a career in #science and #scicomm that lets me do all that and so much more. #ThisIsWhatAScientistLooksLike #IfThenSheCan #WomenInScience #IDWGS

I don't have many solo pics of myself "doing science." That's no coincidence, because science is all about collaboration and community. Science is social! So #ThisIsWhatAScientistLooksLike: laughing and learning together! #STEMsquad #IfThenSheCan #WomenInSTEM #KellyClarksonShow

Wrangling scientists vs. wrangling beagles . . . pretty much the same skill set. 🙃

I always loved visiting the Earth model of @marsrovers every chance I could get. It used to be called "SSTB" (surface system testbed) but is now called "Dusty." #ThanksOppy and #ThanksDusty for your service.
