[...]those with no carer obligations often had to take on work responsibilities - particularly teaching and administrative work, but also experimental work, instrument maintenance and activities that required an in-person presence at the workplace, such as looking after cell, bacterial or fungal cultures, experimental animals or plants - from others who did have such obligations. Katalin Solymosi is an assistant professor in the Department of Plant Anatomy, ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary, a board member of the Young Academy of Europe and co-chair of the Hungarian Young Academy.
