Get to know the "Women in Natural Sciences" (WiNS)
Women have often had a hard time in the natural sciences, but times are changing. Associations like the Society for Women in Natural Sciences at D-CHAB and D-BIOL are contributing significantly to this change. Their recipe for success is to include all genders, raise awareness, strengthen networks, and have fun doing it. On today's International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Seraphine Zhang and Valentina Gasser talk about personal experiences, upcoming challenges, and big plans for WiNS.
Closing the gap between data science and medicine
Even after clinical trials, there is never 100% certainty about the safety and effectiveness of new medicines. The ETH spin-off Methodds of Adrian Martinez de la Torre and Stefan Weiler (Pharmacoepidemiology Group of Andrea Burden, IPW) offers tailored analytical solutions and expert services for this problem in healthcare.
