Dear Sister,

I wish someone had told me early on in my career that…
…it is okay to use senior colleagues to help build my (international) academic network.

The most important decision that has determined my academic life…
…going to the United States for a visiting fellowship.

If I had to do it all over again, I would or I would not…
…not change much to the career decisions I have made.

For the future of academia I wish…
…more ‘rest and digest’.

Last but not least, for our science sisters: “Don’t you ever…
… lose the curiosity!
