Industry or academia - family or career? –
Take the best of all worlds!
›   Many moves from academia to industry and back:
    ›   9 Cellzomers are now professors/groupleaders in
        academia
›   Many moves from biotech to pharma:
    ›   10 people moved to big pharma


›   Women careers: family or career?
    ›   Higher availability of day care facilities for small kids
        and (even in Germany) more all day schools
    ›   First men take time off with their kids – perception
        is changing
    ›   Technology allows work from home more effectively
         › Not the case for lab-based positions

    ›   But: still few women in pharma or biotech
        senior management

                                                                    4
