Women in Plant Biology Interview Series
Increasing the representation of women scientists in STEM has been an ongoing battle for many years, and we still have a long way to go. As the Women in Plant Biology Committee, we are excited to present a new interview series, “Highlighting Women in Plant Biology.” Join us to get to know our incredibly valuable women plant scientists in-depth, both professionally and personally. These interviews cover women plant biologists from different career stages, backgrounds and identities and share their inspiring stories with you. We hope this interview series will inspire new generation of women plant biologists and give them courage to move along their way to become an inspiring plant biologist.
