I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children.And I don’t dismiss those concerns.

Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments.

但是，我也不会跟她们讲述“战争”的故事，相反，我会告诉他们：他们的物理教授身怀六甲仍然坚持做物理实验的景象。

作为回报，他们给我我45个热爱科学的女性的形象。这才是值得谈论的景象。
