What advice do you have for young girls looking to get into a career in science, or related field?
Be resilient and persistent. There are too many rejections in science – rejections to fellowship applications, grant proposals, papers, job applications … These rejections occur to everyone. You are not alone! All we need to do is to move on! — Na

Science is about networking and teamwork, so building relationships with your mentors and peers is important. There is something to learn from everyone and you never know who you’ll collaborate with again in the future! — Jess
