HONOURING WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SCIENCE

 

This year marks the 10th anniversary of International Day of Women and Girls in Science (Tuesday 11th February 2025).

Throughout history and into the present, women have made groundbreaking contributions to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). However, gender inequality remains a significant barrier.

This day serves as a powerful reminder to celebrate, empower, and amplify the voices of women in STEM. In recognition of the occasion, we connected with some of the inspiring women on our campus to hear their stories, celebrate their achievements, and gather their advice for the next generation of women and girls pursuing careers in science.
