11th February marks the annual International Day of Women and Girls in Science (IDWGS). It celebrates women and girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and the vital work they do. By celebrating and increasing the visibility of women and girls in STEM, we can inspire the next generation of female scientists and help overcome the gender divide.
This year we created a series of interviews and profiles with some of the amazing women in science we have working at the Unit to highlight the amazing work and experiences they have had so far. Explore our profiles below:
