If you are in academia, it is very likely you are part of a research group. But how does a research group come into existence, you may ask? 🧐 Well, the season finale of Science Sisters is here to the rescue! Join Iris as she chats with Ana-Catalina Plesa about building a research group, applying for funding to build one, receiving more funding, and the continuous cycle of applying for funding. Most importantly, they highlight science as a team effort for which a diverse research group is essential to bring about the most creative ideas.
