NEWSLETTER OF THE INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH IN BIOMEDICINE
A landscape of science and storytelling
One step further towards gender balance
By now, most of IRB Barcelona’s staff, friends, and supporters have likely seen the new book ‘Science Stories from IRB Barcelona’. The ten stories in this book aim to provide an intimate, well-rounded portrait of the Institute, its science, and the people who work here.
IRB Barcelona and neighbors IBMBCSIC joined forces on April 6 to hold a oneday event for women in science. ‘Towards gender balance’ brought together speakers from research and science politics to talk about their career paths and their experiences in working in different scientific areas.
