NWO: Athena Award
This year I received the NWO Athena Award. This award from NWO is for remarkable female researchers who are role models for others.
“Arwen Deuss wins the Athena Award because the jury considers her a role model: she is at the scientific top, she is an inspiring mentor and she is active in outreach activities. The jury praises her commitment to creating an academic environment in which women can make a career. Deuss was able to make a scientific impact early on in her career: as a student, she provided proof that the earth has a solid inner core and not a liquid one as was believed at the time. She has since been granted many scientific grants and awards, and stood out during her contributions to various tv shows.”
