Nepal was my home for half of 2006, witnessing the end of the Shah dynasty and the beginnings of it becoming a republic. Today they vote to fill all 275 seats, and I join their hope for a more peaceful and prosperous future #Nepal #Elections 🇳🇵🫶
International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Tell your colleagues about a great talk/poster/paper as a low-effort way to help reduce the gendered visibility & opportunity gap. And if you can, support charities that provide education, eg #unicef.
