Yesterday marked the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. 🧬
Despite the pivotal role of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in driving the digital revolution and shaping the future workforce, women remain underrepresented in these fields.
Prioritizing women's empowerment in STEM is crucial. Countless Swedish women have made significant contributions, inspiring future generations, such as:
▶️Astrid Cleve who was a botanist, geologist, chemist and researcher at Uppsala University. She was the first woman in Sweden to obtain a doctoral degree of science.
▶️Inga Fischer who was an internationally acclaimed physicist, chemist, pharmacist, humanist, and a pioneer in quantum chemistry.
▶️Line Gordon who is a sustainability scientist whose transdisciplinary research combines food, water, and the benefits people receive from nature.
