Women in out team
Gender representation seems to be a timely topic. For instance, Scientific American wrote about Gender Diversity and Synthetic Biology, where they report a study performed by 2013' team Paris Bettencourt. Even more interest is to find a page dedicated to Women in Synthetic Biology in Pinterest, with links to blog posts and news. More recently, scientists around the globe have been showing real signs of disavowal to any gender discrimination present in science.
We are very happy that more than 70% of our team are women. Addtionally, our PI and the majority of our advisors are female. Rumor has it, that might be the reason our project took off.
