This week on the pod we took a little virtual trip over to Germany to chat with the lovely with Dr. Lisa Pecher (she/her) who currently serves as an Editor at Angewandte Chemie. We discuss her process coming out as transgender, finding her way to the editing and publishing field, and her current DEI initiatives within the journal community (and much more!). You can follow Lisa on Twitter @LisaPecher and us @MFQCPod. We'll see y'all next time and remember that Black Lives Matter today and everyday.

CORRECTION: At 26:32, the following was said: "And then they just called me. They didn't even put out a job ad because I had already applied a couple of months before." This was incorrect and misremembered. Wiley-VCH did put out a job ad for this position, which was not seen by Lisa because she was approached directly by the company. Lisa clarified this point after the interview had been recorded.
