Abstract
“Up here”, a voice says. I am in the stylish foyer of a large building in Erlangen, Germany. I look up through the hardwood staircase. A woman's head is peering down. She waves. We meet halfway. Her smile is dazzling. She leads me to her office and sits in a plush leather chair behind a huge black desk. She could be director of an art house. But she is not. Elke Lütjen-Drecoll is a physician who specialises in glaucoma research. In June, 2005, she was named president of the Academy of Science and Literature in Mainz, the first woman ever to lead one of Germany's seven science academies.
