Presentation on May 5 at University of Graz to joint research team at BioTechMed- Graz

Many thanks to all the Young Research Group Leaders at BioTechMed Graz for the invitation to present to the joint research teams of Biomedical Science, Technological Developments and Medical/Clinical Applications in the beautiful University of Graz.

Title of presentation: 'How sharing home and parental responsibilities protects your career, your relationship and your happiness'.

Feedback from Dr. Anita Emmersdorfer-Augustin, Young Researcher Group Leader, Institute of Molecular Biotechnology, Graz University of Technology:

'At our last BioTechMed-Graz Science Breakfast, Paula Fyans spoke about how awareness and equal sharing of The Invisible Job can improve the wellbeing of both - men and women - in a light, funny and scientifically based way. There was lots of laughter, consenting nodding and thoughtful faces. With her work, she significantly influences, and hopefully changes, how we think of gender roles at home and in the work place. Even though most of the people in the audience were women, more and more men start to acknowledge that there is an imbalance, which, in the long run will be essential to help better distribute The Invisible Job'.

Interview with Róisín Ingle on Nollag na mBan (Women's Christmas) Jan 6

Nollag na mBan (Women's Christmas) has always been a special day for women. Traditionally the day that women get to relax after all the work that goes into Christmas for a family, in more recent years it has grown to become a day of sisterhood where women come together to celebrate friendship. Delighted to be invited on The Irish Times Women's Podcast to talk about Nollag na mBan and what it represents today in the context of equality in relationships
