According to UNESCO, women currently make up less than one-third of the world\u2019s researchers. This gender gap isn\u2019t just a matter of fairness; it\u2019s a bottleneck for innovation. By limiting who can participate in science, we\u2019re limiting the quality, relevance, and impact of scientific progress itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the CoE Microplanet, women play a vital role in shaping the future of microbiome research. With half of our researchers identifying as women, we recognize the importance of diversity in driving innovation and discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, join us in acknowledging the talent and dedication of our female scientists, whose work advances scientific knowledge and contributes to a more inclusive academic community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out more about 16 excellent female scientists in the CoE Microplanet and read their personal “why” behind choosing a career in science in the image gallery below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
