      That’s a toughie. I think would have done what I do now (work on the immune system in rheumatoid arthritis), although it would have been much more difficult and i would have needed more determination. There were some incredible female scientists which must have struggled back in the day, such as Rosalind Franklin who helped discover the structure of DNA.
