#11Feb is International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a day to reflect on women's role in science, & how we still have a way to go with challenging gender bias that prevent them from pursuing #STEM careers. Here's what we’re doing to close the gap & support women in #physics

We're celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Let's look back on the life of Marie Skłodowska Curie: a Nobel Prize laureate who dedicated her life to science and became one of the world's greatest scientists.

Another exciting interview from our CERN mini-series, this time with Prof Albert de Roeck, about the exciting time that the Higgs boson was being discovered, and more. What is the exciting future of neutrinos and what enchants him about egyptology?

It will be held at the Observatory, a relatively remote location, and we will strive to keep the event respectful and the disturbance minimal. We hope that this event will still remain a good way for entrants to meet new people.

One finding of the @PhysicsNews #Limitless campaign is the negative influence from adults to young people about physics. Instead, support young people to change the world with physics!

“Physics isn’t something that girls tend to fancy. They don’t want to do it. They don’t like it… There’s a lot of hard maths in there that they don’t want to do.” 🤦🏻♀️ @Miss_Snuffy, UK Government Social Mobility Commission Chair #WomenInSTEM
