    Today I just want to share that my girlfriend is incredible and I'm really impressed by her achievements.

    She had to face her director of thesis for her doctorate because she thought a theory in her field was wrong, even though it was the standard use in the whole domain for 20 years.

    Without any support from her university for this, she proved to her director, and to the rest of her field that the theory was wrong and needed to be reevaluated. Another lab contacted her later to confirm they had the same observation.

    Given the level of politics in academia and the mysoginy in STEM, I find it incredible and inspiring.

    Te amo Deborah Cezar Mendonça

    Oh, and she also won a scientific World challenge that she presented for last month at the Rutherford Appleton Library.

    Of course, until she presented, other scientists were mostly talking to her male colleagues, not thinking she was the brain behind the successful solving. 😤
