#SETACMaastricht was a blast, on so many levels! Really high quality science and inspirational plenaries collided with great organisation and a super venue with top-notch all veggie catering (and decent coffee!), making for what I heard a few times referred to as "the best SETAC ever".

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
nature.com
Women are credited less in science than men - Nature
The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.
