Women and Science

Women in science refers to the contributions and roles of women in scientific fields such as biology, physics, chemistry, and engineering. Historically, women faced significant barriers to education and professional opportunities in science. However, many women have made groundbreaking discoveries and advancements, including Marie Curie in radioactivity and Rosalind Franklin in DNA research. Today, efforts are ongoing to promote gender equality in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through education, mentorship, and policy changes, aiming to create a more inclusive environment that fosters innovation and diversity in scientific research and professions.
