Women's Careers and Networks 2025 - Georg-August-University Göttingen

On Sunday it's the International Day of Women in Science. I'm curious: how do you evaluate the compatibility of motherhood and an academic career?

I'm doing a PhD while raising two kids. I love doing research. But what if I don't want to be jumping between temporary postdoc positions in different cities (or even countries) every 2-3 years with my kids?

We should talk about this. Any fellow mothers in science out there who want to share their experiences?

Fun fact: I was pregnant with my first child while defending my thesis 💪

What a great journey!
"It is crucial to challenge societal expectations and recognize that a successful career and motherhood are not mutually exclusive." Says Linda Ofori Atta. So inspiring!

Mothers in Science
And last but not least thanks to my family - my mum who got me into neuroscience, my dad who has always been my mentor, my brothers for nerdy conversations, my wonderful kids for inspiring me, delighting me and making me see developmental psychology through new eyes (#mothersInScience #momademia #academicMums) and my partner for supporting me every single step along the way when times were difficult and when times were fun. I look forward to this new adventure with you!
