48 Women in Science I hope that you can save many more in the future! You have done a lot of interesting things in a relatively short time. What makes you run? [ laughs ] I ask this myself actually! I have so many ideas and interests. I really like to do many different things at once. [ laughs ] I like them so much! It really motivates me. I’m quite efficient.  Can you give us an example of how these different activities converge together? Yes, they converge! That’s very interesting. For example, when I started teaching many people told me, “ Don’t get involved with teaching, especially as a woman. Don’t enter your career doing teaching because people who do this don’t have such a big career... ” In the end, I said to myself, “ Why not teaching? ”. This getsme towhere I want to be. I want to be a good teacher because this is how to get to the best people in my I’msure you are alsomaking the patients’ lives better. That is probably the main goal. Is that true? Yes, that is true. Can you think of any specific case where this happened? Yes! That happens often. Maybe we get a diagnosis that we have never encountered before. For example, we have lots of cardiac patients here. As cardiovascular radiologists, we do someminimally invasive aortic valve implantation pre-procedural planningwithCT.Weoftendetect incidental findings on these scans. For example, what we have quite often is Renal Cell Carcinoma on these scans, or at least suspicion of RCC. By detecting this in an incidental way, we can actually save lives. This is something I really like about my job.  “Tolerating frustration is maybe the most important aspect of research!”
