They don't tell you beforehand that it will be a choice between having a career in science or starting a family... pregnant women were a financial drain on the department.
A study found that more than 40 percent of female scientists in the United States leave full-time work in science after their first child. Men hold about 70 percent of all research positions worldwide.
Especially for field researchers like me, motherhood can feel at odds with a scientific career... Bringing your kids to work can be an act of rebellion and a solution.
