Of Course! & Of Course² - Two Comics about inspiring female scientists
Audine Laurian's comics address the problem of gender-specific loss rates in scientific careers. Both female and male role models play an important role for pupils, students and young scientists.
Two comic books, called "Of course!" and "Of course²" present the personal careers of fifteen scientists. They have all experienced gender bias and unbalanced team compositions firsthand at home, at school, and during their training, as well as in their workplaces. They all made positive changes with courageous decisions and now lead satisfied and fulfilling lives as scientists and scholars. (https://www.wavestoweather.de)
