Big congrats to the herHack winners Bethany and Marina

Bethany Allen and Marina Nikolova, two postdoctoral researchers at D-BSSE, and their team members won the first place at herHack, Switzerland’s largest hackathon for women. Competing with 31 teams, their project involved developing a concept to help Migros, the Swiss retail company, provide customers with sustainability data on their grocery shopping. The jury liked best that the team chose to adapt an existing app, which meant that the solution was more sustainable than other teams’ proposals.

Bethany Allen is a postdoctoral researcher in the Computational Evolution group led by Tanja Stadler, Marina Nikolova is a postdoc in the Quantitative Developmental Biology lab of of Barbara Treutlein.
