A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women.

Spent the year doing what we love the most and won’t stop in 2025! We’ll be busy prepping to host #ISBE2026 in Turin and getting started with an exciting #FIS funded project on thermal reproduction of field crickets. Watch out - phd and postdoc positions opening soon!
