EMBL-Women-2019
Maria-Theresa, an EMBL Teen was invited to join Malvika Sharan, a computational Biologist at EMBL Heidelberg, to learn about bio-computational research and possible career paths.
EMBL Women in Science Project
EMBL = European Molecular Biology Laboratory
From July to September 2019, the ‘Friends of EMBL’ department is running a small project - ‘Women in Science’, with EMBL Teens, an EMBL club for high school students interested in life sciences. Each girl has been paired with a women researcher at EMBL where they will take mentorship roles as a mentee and mentor. The EMBL researcher will introduce their mentees to their research work, their life as a scientist and a few important skills that have been useful for them. At the European Researchers’ Night on 27 September 2019, an exhibition on this project will be organised to show the work carried out by different mentor-mentee pairs in the form of visual display, video or presentation.
This page will be collaboratively developed by Maria-Theresa - an EMBL teen, who is learning about computational biology, data analysis, and artificial intelligence in her spare time, and Malvika Sharan - a computational biologist and community outreach coordinator at EMBL.
This summer I am mentoring a teenager from @embl teens as a part of a project called "Women in Science".

She is learning some computation skills with me, while we also discuss various career paths in Science. We have started to record our journey here: https://t.co/XvcFLrN1ro
We got to interview each other (Maria-Theresa on the right and I am on the left).
