Behind the Scene: Interviews with Female Data Champions from Industry and Academia
Written by Irena Maus & Nils-Christian Lübke
In the scope of the joint Bayer AG and de.NBI/ELIXIR Germany endeavor of the "Women in Data Science" lecture series, we are proud to launch this new interview collection aimed at celebrating women's achievements in data science for life sciences and bioinformatics. In this collection, we shed a spotlight on the representation of women and the achievements that have been made in their professional areas. We intend to amplify the voices of women who have made a career in scientific research. Based on personal Q&As, the articles will leave space for personal stories and anecdotal moments. The interview series will be complemented by blog entries showcasing exciting data science projects of women working in industrial and academic settings within the realm of computational biology.
These interviews will give space to promote the work of female researchers and highlight the diversity of research performed across Bayer AG, de.NBI, and ELIXIR. The stories and career paths will appear regularly.
We wish all our readers a lot of fun getting to know our data champions!
