Diversity within any group is enriching!<\/strong> In a research group, <\/span><\/span>it <\/span><\/span>allows to consider various points of view as well as\u00a0<\/span><\/span>certain characteristics <\/span><\/span>that are sometimes for<\/span><\/span>gotten. <\/span><\/span>Women <\/span><\/span>know how<\/span><\/span> their bodies and minds <\/span><\/span>work <\/span><\/span>and can apply this<\/span><\/span> knowledge<\/span><\/span> to scientific research.

This is known as the \u201cstereotype threat\u201d, in other words, how prejudices can directly affect someone\u2019s performance. If you hear too much that you are not going to succeed, you might end up believing it. It is now time to change that! No, women are not less gifted for exact sciences than men! Yes, women are just as involved in their careers! Yes, women are committed to drive science forward!<\/strong><\/p>\n Science needs women, role models to encourage young girls in school to love science, female students to follow their dreams and female researchers not to give up! Several studies have shown that women professors in science improve the level of female students and inspire them to keep studying in the field. So, don\u2019t be afraid to go for it!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Many brilliant initiatives are carried out to promote gender equality in <\/span>science<\/span>. <\/span><\/span>Among them, t<\/span><\/span>he<\/span><\/span> l\u2019Or\u00e9al-Unesco<\/strong><\/span><\/span> Prize \u201cFor Women in <\/span>Science<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/span> The aim? To reward and give visibility to women researchers who have contributed to scientific progress. Since 2000, five <\/span><\/span>women<\/span><\/span> scientists<\/span><\/span> are rewarded every year, one for each continent. Among the <\/span><\/span>former<\/span><\/span> laureates, Ada <\/strong><\/span>Yonath<\/span><\/strong> received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 and Elizabeth Blackburn<\/strong> won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2009. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Besides,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>let’s not forget<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to mention Alexandra Olaya-Castro<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>whose humble economic conditions were not an impediment to winning prestigious scholarships such as the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>one at<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Oxford<\/span><\/span>\u00a0University<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0which led her to excel in the scientific world, becoming the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>f<\/span><\/span>irst\u00a0<\/span><\/span>L<\/span><\/span>atin American<\/span><\/span>\u00a0woman<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to win the Maxwell Medal.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A brilliant initiative to highlight t<\/span><\/span>he talent and motivation of women in <\/span><\/span>the world of <\/span><\/span>science<\/span>!
