I believe presenting research work to non-technical or more industry-oriented audiences is a true part of a researcher’s work, and also a very stimulating experience with questions that do not always arise in purely academic contexts. I also do my part for women’s visibility, in the hope of inspiring girls to join us!

Note that I often receive non-specific invitations to give free talks for women’s promotion events, with low visibility and no travel compensation. Though I appreciate that organizers want to promote diversity, it can be upsetting to feel obliged to volunteer simply because it is for promoting women. It is not optimal to add free work to the few women who remain in the field, so I do not respond to these invitations, and I invite you to consider paying women for their work.
