Women in academia during the COVID-19 pandemic
Last month, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) organized a virtual conference on “The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on women in science: Challenges and solutions” to discuss the impacts of the ongoing pandemic on women in academia. The event was co-organized by HITS researcher Ariane Nunes-Alves, Capes-Humboldt Fellow, and member of the Molecular and Cellular Modeling (MCM) group.
In the latest article “W like women in academia or why we all should care about equality” on the HITS blog “Via Data” on SciLogs, Ariane gives some valuable insights into new and old problems for female scientists and possible remedies to ensure diversity in science.

About HITS
HITS, the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies, was established in 2010 by physicist and SAP co-founder Klaus Tschira (1940-2015) and the Klaus Tschira Foundation as a private, non-profit research institute. HITS conducts basic research in the natural, mathematical, and computer sciences. Major research directions include complex simulations across scales, making sense of data, and enabling science via computational research. Application areas range from molecular biology to astrophysics. An essential characteristic of the Institute is interdisciplinarity, implemented in numerous cross-group and cross-disciplinary projects. The base funding of HITS is provided by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
