Today, a female undergrad student approached and told me (in tears): thank you for being a great female scientist. We need more female scientists. The world is too cruel to us women, seeing you gives me hope that I can do it too. I cried. How long do we have to fight?
@AleFidelis too long unfortunately. I thought 25 years ago when I entered science it would improve more than it has for women. Sigh.
@profamymcgovern we keep fighting! 💪💪💪💪
