Dr. Thais Langer, the founder of Science Writer Space, delivered an exciting talk titled: ‘How to navigate a scientific career path’. During her talk, she discussed her life and career in science. She also realistically talks about the difficult times, she had to endure to make her passion come true.

Throughout her talk, she loudly and clearly made the point that life is not always linear and that every step in it comes with an opportunity to learn something new. This was also her motivation to always look up when things go awry. Last but not least, she highlighted the significance of realising a proper work-life balance (she herself is a scientist, science communicator and writer, and a professional diver and sailor) and the real need for proper scientific knowledge dissemination.
