When scientists marry scientists

Marriage can be part of life and a life in science . Scientist-spouses share what it means to them to have a spouse who is also a scientist.

For Nature Methods I recently wrote about scientists who marry scientists. A link to the story is  here

It's so kind  that these researchers share what role their marriage plays in their science, how they mesh marriage with their science and balance the two, as well. 

The piece includes Sonia Vallabh  and Eric Minikel from the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. Pam Sharma and Nobel Laureate Jim Allison from MD Anderson Cancer Center, Lily Jan and Yuh Nung Jan from University of California, San Francisco; Xiaoyun Dai, from  Westlake University in Hangzhou, China  and Zhenkun Na, at the Hangzhou Institute of Medicine.
