Julia Boos featured in "NCCR Women"

Julia Boos is featured today on Youtube within the framework of the initiative "NCCR Women" of the Swiss National Science Foundation. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of women obtaining the right to vote in Switzerland, the campaign introduced some of the women working in Swiss research institutes. From Women’s Day on March 8th 2021, to October 31st – the 50th anniversary of the women’s vote in Switzerland –, our female colleagues will be showing you who they are, what they do and why they do it.

Currently there are 22 National Competence Centers in Research (NCCRs) focusing on almost any topic: quantum physics, using robots to make architecture more sustainable, to the physical causes of mental illness and the origin and evolution of planets. Each NCCR will have one dedicated week, during which they will share videos telling the stories of their women researchers. The external page NCCR Antiresist shares its stories in the week of 10-15 October 2021. AntiResist aims to bring about a paradigm shift in antibiotic research with an interdisciplinary approach that assembles a Swiss-wide network of research groups from the fields of clinical research, biology, chemistry, computation, engineering and pharmacology.

Follow the campaign on external page YouTube and external page Instagram and the hashtag external page #NCCRWomen​​ and meet women who work in research in Switzerland.
