| Today we celebrate the UN-proclaimed International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2021! Science and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals. Over the past 15 years, the global community has made a lot of effort in inspiring and engaging women and girls in science. Yet women and girls continue to be excluded from participating fully in science. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are steering girls and women away from science related fields. On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, let's change this narrative. Join us in celebrating women and girls, who are leading innovation and call for actions to remove all barriers that hold them back. #WomenInScience! |

| Picture a Scientist film screening |
| |
| Picture a Scientist is a feature-length documentary film chronicling the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. As the filmmakers dug into the data and spoke with dozens of scientists, they realized the vast extent of the challenges facing women and minority scientists. Despite ground-breaking efforts by the courageous scientists featured in the film and elsewhere, systemic gender bias and racism persist. The goal in making the film was to raise visibility around these critical issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in science and invite viewers into a deeper conversation about how to make science more inclusive. Do you want to organize a screening at your department or faculty? Send an email to dewis@tudelft.nl. |
