As me and the girls crisscrossed #Italy, I could not help reflecting on life and what really matters. So often we get caught up in the rat race, our dreams and our journey to make those dreams realities - but we lose sight of the many amazing moments that make it all worth it.

Had the pleasure of participating in the #WomenInScience Women of the Year Celebration! I am so inspired and encouraged by the exceptional role models that young females joining the workforce must follow. Congrats to the 6 winners- thank you for all that you do. #TeamBayer.

An interesting look into the revolution in agricultural practices to combat climate change. The #innovation of using genetically modified bacteria to enhance nutrient delivery in corn exemplifies a broader shift towards sustainable agriculture practices. nytimes.com/2024/10/24/cli…


It’s interesting to see how optimism with regard to farmers’ profits prevails in India and Latin America! On the other side, declining commodity prices and increased imports are leading #farmers in North America and Europe to expect lower profits.

💧One-quarter of the world’s #crops are cultivated in regions facing severe #water stress and unreliability, according to a recent analysis from the World Resources Institute. This is a wake-up call for all of us in the #agricultural sector! The report🌍tinyurl.com/yck4yebm

#STEM fields are not just about numbers and formulas; they inspire creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills that impact every aspect of our lives. Let’s continue to support the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and leaders.

Not only do these “othering” #microaggressions lead to feelings of isolation & burnout but they also discourage talented individuals from viewing their workplaces as equitable. Companies that ignore these behaviours risk losing valuable employees who contribute to their success.

There is a broader issue of #GenderBias in many fields, particularly in #STEM. We need to increase the visibility of women’s contributions in #science and encourage orgs to adopt policies that actively promote diverse panels for selection committees.

"Men won all the science Nobels this year. The omission of two women who contributed to the work honored for the Nobel prizes '24 in physiology or medicine (1st authors), is part of a bigger problem!" #GenderBias #WomenInSTEM #WomensRights #STEM statnews.com/2024/10/11/nob…



The positive feedback we've received from the farmers who participated in our trials highlights the potential benefits the #Preceon system brings to the table, and I'm excited to see how it will shape the future of #agriculture! #TeamBayer dtnpf.com/agriculture/we…


If we take a look at the past 150 years of #literature, which is what researcher Oscar Stuhler has done, something becomes glaringly obvious: the narrative of the passive woman remains deeply entrenched in our cultural fabric. english.elpais.com/culture/2024-0…


The U.S. is on track to harvest record #corn and soybean crops this year, with corn production forecast at 15.2 billion bushels- an increase from last month. If realised, these figures will represent the second-largest corn crop in history!

Incredibly proud of #TeamBayer’s commitment to integrating Farmer Reported Outcome Measures (FROMs) into our impact assessments. We’re not just measuring #productivity but truly understanding the experiences and perceptions of the farmers we serve. hbr.org/2024/09/a-bett…


It was a pleasure speaking at the #WIFA Summit in Chicago alongside my brilliant panellists. It was refreshing to see such enthusiasm for convincing senior executives in food and #agriculture that investing in #DEI isn't just the right thing to do- it's also smart for business.

🍅Tomatoes that use 20% less water, retain their great taste, and have a longer shelf life- solutions we strive for in our breeding programmes! And, they contribute directly to reducing food #waste and ensuring global #FoodSecurity. #TeamBayer partners.wsj.com/bayer-crop-sci…


Developing incentive programmes that prioritise #education alongside financial support could help consumers better understand the importance of investing in sustainable practices and potentially lead to a more informed consumer base!

In light of the current trend of downsizing in the agricultural sector & its effects on food prices, this topic deserves our attention. How might embracing #RegenerativeAgriculture change the game for #farmers & #consumers? #Agriculture #SustainableFarming ag.purdue.edu/news/2024/09/m…



🌽#PRECEON has landed in Spain through our Groundbreakers programme! It's been an amazing journey so far and we're just getting started, Can't wait to see how this system evolves before its full market launch in 2025! More info: tinyurl.com/upe6hc2u

🎾We had an amazing time at our #TeamBayer tennis tournament in support of the United Way 2024 campaign! This was for a great cause and it was equally fantastic to see so many come together, and with such a competitive spirit!

I resonate with the emphasis on psychological safety and the need for authentic leadership. When leaders actively participate in employee resource groups and promote open discussions about biases, it creates an environment where everyone thrives.

"A new report addresses the critical issue of retaining #WomenInSTEM fields. It offers insights into stemming the tide of female departures from technical roles." Read about the insights and takeaways of the report 👇 technologymagazine.com/articles/women…



Today we honour the resilience of #RuralWomen and recognise the importance of empowering them through access to resources, education, and leadership opportunities. Their knowledge and dedication support their families and contribute significantly to local and global food systems.
