The author describes the beginning of her independent scientific career in the Department of Biochemistry of the University of Geneva, at a time when Assistant Professor positions did not exist there and female group leaders in the Section of Chemistry were a rare species. Good timing, strong support and an excellent atmosphere are what she remembers. Her stay there was absolutely crucial to her success.
