Spotlight on Young Women in Physics at Lindau

Several young talented female physicists are among the participants in the 66th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting.

Some of them gave me an insight into their life in advance of the meeting by answering the following 10 questions:

1. What inspired you to pursue a career in physics / STEM?
2. Who are your role models?
3. How did you get to where you are in your career path?
4. What is the coolest project you have worked on and why?
5. What’s a time you felt immense pride in yourself / your work?
6. What is a “day in the life” of you like?
7. What are you seeking to accomplish in your career?
8. What do you like to do when you’re not doing research?
9. What advice do you have for other women interested in physics / STEM?
10. In your opinion, what will be the next great breakthrough in physics research?

Furthermore, I wanted to know what should be done in their opition to increase the number of female professors in physics.
