Over the moon to share that I’ve been elected as an @EMBO member! This wouldn't have been possible without my fantastic mentors and collaborators, passionate past and present team members @kocuniversity, funding from @EMBO_YIP, @ERC_Research, @Tubitak and support of my family.
Outstanding scientists elected to EMBO Membership: in EMBO’s 60th anniversary year, 100 new members and 20 associate members join the community

Very happy that @MeteAtature won 2024 Rahmi Koç Science Medal! In addition to being an outstanding scientist, he actively addresses the challenges women in science face, taking real action as seen in this tweet. Our conversation today on this topic was truly enlightening.
My commitment to refuse invitations to academic conferences with all-male lineup is in its 8th year. I stick to this (& I upset a few), and I encourage other scientists to join. The fight for equality is far from over. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

I'm excited to see that a photo of Leyla with me receiving my @EMBO member certificate along with other members and EMBO Director Fiona Watt was shown in the photo gallery for the EMBO 60th anniversary celebration. What a wonderful memory for her!
