Reviews

"While capturing stories, building a community and identifying a toolkit for career success, this book provides valuable insights into women scientists' experiences navigating life inside and outside the laboratory during COVID-19." Sue V. Rosser, San Francisco State University and Georgia Institute of Technology
"A stark spotlight on the experience of women in science. For some an insightful, resonating read; for others a challenging, surprising wake-up call for real change." Jonathan W. Steed, Durham University
