Women In Science

#IWD2019 #BalanceForBetter

To mark the International Day of Girls and Women in Science and International Women's Day 2019 we asked eight successful women in science to have an honest conversation about how their gender has affected their career. With no agenda, but to engage, inform, entertain and spark debate.

These high performing women discussed gender equality, family balance, preconceptions, challenges, clothing and much more. With participants from India, Egypt, South Africa, the United States, Jordan, South Korea, Italy and Finland.
