International Day of Women & Girls in Science 2023

Women and girls play a critical role in science and technology communities and their participation should be strengthened. Join us on Saturday 11th February to celebrate International Day of Women & Girls in Science and the critical role they play in science and technology communities around the world. We are celebrating by showcasing some of the amazing female students in our department, the vision for their women's health research and who or what inspires them.

Women in Science

Did you know that women are typically given smaller research grants than their male colleagues and while they represent 33.3% of all researchers, only 12% of members of national science academies are women? In order to help achieve gender equality, the United Nations General Assembly declared 11th February as the annual International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
