Dear Sister

by Natali Helberger

Dear Sister,

I wish someone had told me early on in my career that…

…that professors are also only humans.

The most courageous decision I made was…

…coming to the Netherlands.

Leadership means…

…creating a shared a vision and enabling your team to realise it.

A mistake that taught me the most…
…working or running harder than I was able to.

If I could give one piece of advice to young women academics, it would be…

…stop feeling guilty. 

For the future generation of women scholars, I hope…

…more internal mentoring and intervision moments.

And for our Science Sisters:

…more great meetings and sessions like the SciSis Meet.
