Our BEAM colloquium and career talk took place on 7 September. Our guest was Prof. Dr. James Wilton-Ely, Professor at the Chemistry Department at the Imperial College London who works at the Molecular Sciences Research Hub on the White City Campus. He shared his experiences in the natural sciences, talked about his career and path into business and gave our doctoral researchers, postdocs and interested students insights into his career.

We would like to thank him for coming and for his interesting presentation and are already looking forward to the next career talk.

Go watch our second scientific mini story with and about Virgina-Marie and Christian. As it is primarily intended to appeal to and reach school pupils and young people interested in STEM subjects, the video is in German.

Over the past few months, we have been working on an “equality opportunities” booklet to inspire young girls and women to study in the STEM field. To this end, our female doctoral students, student talents and principal investigators have reported on their experiences, their careers, their highs and their lows.

Take a look at their contributions:
