International Day of Women and Girls in Science

On February 11th, the eighth edition of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science was celebrated, established by the United Nations.

A day that seeks to draw attention to the ongoing gender imbalance in access to education and scientific careers. And even though we strive to lead by example, boasting 56% female membership, we couldn’t let this day go unnoticed.

Given the international nature of the CESAM community, we took a pause in the work of four researchers, asking for their opinions on the level of access, in their countries of origin, that women have to education and scientific careers.
