Dr Thanh Nguyen: Along the way I met a lot of wonderful women from the WISE Initiative in ESO. I had a chance to interact and discuss about women networking and one thing led to another and here I am at the WISE event and it's just fantastic.
It started with Marialuisa Zedde who connected me to the WISE event and then I met Dr Else Sandset and Dr Silke Walter. And it was so much fun to converse with them and discuss how women collaborate and how do women network and how do we do it differently from men? And it was really interesting to study together. And so here we are networking as a women in science for Europe group and I just happened to be a member and I'm enjoying it very much.
Oh, it's fantastic. It's, it's an opportunity to meet people that you've read about, that you've read their works of and that you've communicated with and they're here come to life and you get to ask them about their background and, and what they're really up to and it's just wonderful because these are the interactions you can't get on a Zoom call or on a Microsoft teams call. So it's just, it's magical.
