February 11: International Day of Women and Girls in Science
Representing women in science, two of our team members, Inés Vega González and Marta Sálamo Candal, among others, talk about their work.
February 11 is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, established by the UN in 2015. It celebrates achievements, promotes equal access to STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and draws attention to the underrepresentation of women in research.In our project Chiara Rigoni and Raquel Perales have a leading role as PIs and researchers in their field.
