The Saxon State Minister for Science and the Arts, Sabine Schorlemer, visited the MPI-CBG during Girls' Day on April 26. She signed a mutual agreement together with Ulrike Struwe, head of the Go MINT! office, to promote careers for women in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology.
Wieland Huttner, director at the MPI-CBG, emphasized that the commitment of the institute to the girls' day activities of the past ten years showed that the institute had always been aiming high when it comes to dual career and work-life balance issues. 40 high school students visited the MPI-CBG in the morning to learn more about career opportunities in the field of molecular cell biology and genetics - four staff members shared their everyday experience with them.
