I’m super agree with this post. In daily work life, women fight to get more respect and authority. We must highlight the need to increase women’s representation in science and technology. Currently, it is still hard to remove gender stereotypes, it remains across different aspects as salary, place of work, leadership positions, among others. I can see the light in the end of the tunnel, we can see that a lot of institutions are doing a strong work to promote diversity and break the barriers of traditional gender roles.

Dear everyone! My name is Andrea Gomez Felipe, I am a very motivated plant scientist who works with hormones, morphodynamics and development in plants. I was born in Mexico, where I studied Plant Biotechnology and got my PhD degree. Currently, I’m a postdoc at University of Montreal. I want to understand the molecular, cellular and tissue level mechanisms underlying organogenesis in plants using cutting-edge approaches. My professional interest lies in combining molecular biology, microscopy and computational tools to elucidate specific mechanisms of plant development. Besides my research, I love swimming, biking, hiking, and reading.

Looking forward to connecting with plant community and learn from all of you!
