International #WomenInScience day is coming up on February 11 and we are celebrating some of our women. They share insights into their personal and professional journeys, offering advice to young aspiring scientists.

First up: group leader Ana Pombo. She wants to understand the rules that govern our #genome. She hopes her research will help understand diseases such as #autism and #epilepsy.
