Women in the Field - It Was a Great Experience

There were things happening between senior scientists and less experienced junior scientists that could really only be described as bullying. A lot of it had been trained into these the senior scientists, absolutely. It's not viewed as a negative thing. You just have to toughen up and get the job done. But i'm very glad to say that in general, the trips were spectacular examples of team work and support and patience with each other. And you can't have broken your relationship to the point where you can't help each other. It actually is a little bit like space travel. You're out there and you got to get along.
