Article on Czech Antarctic Science, Research abroad, Equal opportunities in academia (CZK)

29/04/2023

I was happy to share the story of novel antimicrobials with readers of Idnes.cz. We discussed the challenging nature of search for novel antimicrobials due to the ever-evolving nature of microbial resistance and very demanding process of exploration of extreme environments with endless microorganisms that could be the "hit" producers. 

This interview was very specific as we touched sensitive questions on how research abroad differs and what opprotunities arise for early carrer scientists in foreign contries compared to back home. I was also given voice on the matter of gender equality in academia where unfortunately, equal opportunities are still not the standard in the czech academic environment and frequently leave to amazing female scientists to drop out (even tough we do have some excellent exceptions!!).
