      Yay 😀 Thank you!
      I wouldn’t consider myself a role model as such, but I definitely think it’s really important to show girls that Physics isn’t just a man’s game, that it’s a real option. Us girls are just as capable, and it’s the best job in the world!

      Working in a field which is commonly recognised to have less women I think makes all of us role models automatically. Its great to have a female scientist majority in the space zone here and I’m really glad you’re enjoying it as much as us. I think its really important that you consider all subjects and options equally without any gender biases – with determination you can do anything you want.
