With the International Day of Women and Girls in Science approaching on 11 February, we would like to open a conversation within the FEBS community.

Many scientific journeys start with inspiration. Sometimes it is a well known scientist. Sometimes it is a teacher, a family member, a mentor, a school visit, a museum, a book, or a moment that sparked curiosity and made science feel possible.

We would love to hear your story.

Who inspired you to pursue a career in science?

Please share your experience in the comments below. Big or small, personal or professional, every story helps enrich our community.

This day provides a framework to reflect on inspiration and visibility in science, but this conversation is open to everyone. Women and men alike are warmly invited to take part.
