Want to meet people? Or even just boys? Despite the stereotypes science is a very sociable subject. Communication is vital and since women are often considered better communicators they have an advantage over men. You will also develop people skills that are invaluable when it comes to presenting and defending your work. Team work is essential in research since you are based in a lab or office with many other people. Most work is based on other people’s research, which means working closely with your colleagues to find answers. Science is also a multinational discipline so you’ll meet people who are visiting from all over the world and if you are lucky you’ll get to visit them too. Currently throughout the EU men outnumber women in science 20 –1, which obviously we want to change, but until we do they’ll be 20 of them to choose from for every one of you!
