👩‍👩‍👧‍👦Now time for a special & so sweet kind of ‘break’ as we enjoy all the cuddles of our new family member. Life is good!

[Martina Cihova @MartinaCihova]

Some exciting weeks behind us:
🔬we moved into new lab space aka playground for lots of #OxidesMeetBio & #biocorrosion fun @Empa_CH
👩‍🏫finished my 1st term of lecturing @ETH_en - what a (*fun, challenging+interesting) privilege to teach these brilliant students at my Alma Mater.

@kmasania @sebacallens Aaaww miss you two, too!! How lovely to see you both in the same pic 🤩

[Martina Cihova @MartinaCihova]

Big thank you to @Empa_CH and @psich_en for this opportunity and support, and especially Melina Spycher, Catherine Hirt, and colleagues from the Diversity team for your efforts! It really was a great experience.

This week, we celebrated women with leadership ambitions in the ETH Domain National Labs with the closing event of the 1-year 'fem-LEAD' program.
Best of luck to all these incredible women - I have no doubt (and cannot wait!) that you are going to shape the research landscape💙

[Martina Cihova @MartinaCihova]

Bravo👏 and congratulations to this year's fellows of the L’Oréal UNESCO For Women in Science Awards! Especially HUGE CONGRATS to @sarabkeller and former colleague @LiyunMa323 from Imperial College London in the Engineering category - super well done! Happy to see you thrive💙

[Sara Keller @sarabkeller]

Incredibly honored to receive the 2024 @lorealuki @UNESCOUK #ForWomenInScience Engineering award and to share the stage with so many outstanding scientists & engineers. To quote the program motto: the world needs science & science needs women!!

[Martina Cihova @MartinaCihova]

@sarabkeller @lorealuki @UNESCOUK Big congrats, Sara! Super well done 👏

[Swiss National Science Foundation @snsf_ch]

A major milestone for researchers in Switzerland: this spring, they can participate again in an ERC call after an almost three-year hiatus. Being involved in #HorizonEurope, the largest research programme worldwide, is key for Swiss research.

[Martina Cihova @MartinaCihova]

Celebrating the achievements and resiliance of women in science 👏 Keep on going - representation matters!

Empower, encourage, motivate, thrive!

Check out this PhD opening in @RifaieGrahamLab - great opportunity to be guided by an equally amazing scientist & mentor!

[Omar Rifaie Graham @RifaieGrahamLab]

Please share. I have a fully funded 3-year PhD studentship in my new lab @Chemistry_QMUL focussing on generating polymer-based artificial cells. They have importance in therapy, biotechnology, and producing approximations to understand biological phenomena https://t.co/RVcxDZKk7l

@davblei 1. Try your best-> science discoveries are not always in our hands = input&output are not linear but as long as you give your best, there is no regret
2. Observe & document carefully
3. Be critical (to own data & lit)
4. Be a teamplayer
5. Communicate your needs

Toxic workplaces are the main reason women leave academic jobs. Women feel driven out by problems with workplace culture more often than by lack of work–life balance. #AcademicChatter What do you think?
