REMINDER: Share your story!

We would like to gather stories from women marine scientists to share on our website and on our social media accounts!

It could be text on how you decided to be a marine scientist, about your current studies/research/work or about challenges you face/have faced during your career. The text does not need to be long, everything from a few sentences up to 1 A4 page would be suitable. If possible we would like to share a picture with the text but its also OK to share a story anonymously.

We hope that these stories can help inspire more young women to pursue careers in marine science and that women already in the field can find support and comfort in the stories shared.

Do you want to share your story? Send an email to the WiMS network coordinator, Emma Forsberg, at wims@wiomsa.org ...
