Academi-JA! — •Yana Vaynzof — Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany

Physics Departments are notoriously known for lacking female faculty members, resulting in a shortage of role models for female students and postdoctoral fellows. In recent years the fraction of female faculty members slightly increased, but the progress remains slow. In this talk, I will describe my path towards a career in academia. We*ll touch upon important topics such as studying abroad, choosing industry vs academia, striking a work-life balance, having a family and more.
