Young female researchers are hosting the very first 'Women in Science Symposium' at FAU. The unique aspect of this symposium is that all the members of the organisation committee and all the speakers are women. In our interview, two members of the organisation committee speak about what they hope to achieve with the symposium and why it is so important.
