Interview with D-CHAB - International Day of Women and Girls in Science

Women have often had a hard time in the natural sciences, but times are changing. Associations like the Society for Women in Natural Sciences at D-​CHAB and D-​BIOL are contributing significantly to this change.

On today's International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Seraphine Zhang and Valentina Gasser talk about personal experiences, upcoming challenges, and big plans for WiNS.
