I am an assistant professor in geochemistry, and my parents were teachers in a small town of Brittany in France. I am well aware of my luck and privileges to be a highly educated woman. Anyway, along the path, I have witnessed and sometimes been the victim of discrimination and harassment behaviours. I have learned a lot from these various experiences but I don’t want to be silent anymore and I want to be a part of the current change to deeply transform STEM and Geochemistry to be a more diverse and inclusive field. Working in collaborative ways with diverse scientists is not only important for Science at large, but is also important to me personally. We learn so much from each other. I hope that we can build a more inclusive and welcoming community where we don’t have to erase or hide who we are as geochemists. “Alone we go faster but together we go further”.
