A risky project comes good
Interview with Joan Steitz
Joan looks back on life and friendships at the LMB, the career choices (or lack of them) for women scientists in 1960s America, and why such a plum postdoc project hadn’t been snapped up by the flocks of ambitious men surrounding her. We learn about the threat of stereotypes and the advice Joan gives to young women starting out in science.
This interview is part of the LMB Through the Years project celebrating the LMB's 60th anniversary. A selection of twelve staff and alumni, from across the decades, were interviewed by science writer Kathy Weston about their time at the LMB and what it has meant to them. Each interviewee has also chosen an object to represent their time at the LMB, giving an unusual insight into the many facets of life at the LMB.
