Wiley's new LatAm pilot program (65% APC discount for Colombia) reflects a necessary acknowledgment of inequities in scientific publishing.
While APC models have limitations, every step toward greater accessibility matters. Important to keep working on transforming the system.

"No wall can stand if you just keep going," says our lab leader Michela Di Virgilio (professor at @ChariteBerlin). In order for the #ImmuneSystem to effectively fight off pathogens, B cells need to smash up and reassemble their own #DNA. Di Virgilio and her team are searching for factors controlling this process, which also have crucial implications for our predisposition to #cancer.

"There's never been a time as good as nowadays to develop a scientific career for women," says our group leader Uta Höpken in our #WomenInSTEM interview. Her lab focuses on "Microenvironmental Regulation in Autoimmunity and #Cancer." She's also co-founder of CARTemis Therapeutics.

"My mother used to joke that my favorite question was really 'why'? Curiosity is what has driven me throughout my life and also driven me towards a path in #science," says lab leader Ashley Sanders.

Her lab is part of the joint #research focus “#SingleCell Approaches for Personalized Medicine” of the @bih_charite, @ChariteBerlin and #mdcBerlin

I'm all for recognizing #WomenInScience...

...but can we do it without suggesting that the reason a woman would dedicate her life to #science & #teaching was to fill the vacuous space of never having children?

...and maybe also without suggesting some intuitive maternal instinct as the source of her #scientific reasoning?

"If you feel that something really excites you, just go for it," says group leader Daria Bunina.

Her team is researching how epigenetic factors affect cell differentiation. When errors in this process occur, cardiovascular diseases and neurodevelopmental disorders can result.

"Our society can just not miss out on half of its potential," says group leader Stefanie Grosswendt (#mdcBerlin & @bih_charite) in regard to the #WomenInScience Day, which is coming up on February 11.

In early 2022, she received the prestigious @ERC_Research Starting Grant – providing roughly 1.5 million euros in funding over a period of five years.

The #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience is implemented by UNESCO and UN-Women in collaboration institutions and civil society partners that aim to promote women and girls in science. On this Day, let’s reiterate this fundamental message: women need science, and science needs women. Only by tapping into all sources of knowledge, all sources of talent, can we unlock the full potential of science, and rise to the challenges of our time. https://www.unesco.org/en/days/women-girls-science #EquityInScience
