HER SCIENCE

- Alis Propriis Volat -

Her Science blog is a collection of my experiences, adventures, and inspirations as a woman in science. Beginning with my formative years as a girl who liked to count ants to a Marie Curie Research Fellow and avid lover of science.

The Mission: to convey to a captive elevator audience, what we do and why we went to University for 13-years to play with mud at the bottom of a lake, analyze 500-million year-old plant rocks, or collect layers of fossilized animal pee in 112 degree weather. All eyes on you: so tell me, why palaeoeco
