MPI for Gravitational Physics<p>What measures that target women and girls in science would you care about and/or would you like to see realized in the scientific community?</p><p>“It’s hard to choose particular measures because I consider that an issue that needs to be addressed on a global scale. In any case, I think there should be more measures that take care of family support, reducing possible biases in evaluation processes and having an effective protocol of support when there are complaints about a situation of discrimination.”</p><p><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/IDWGS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IDWGS</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/WomenInScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInScience</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/WomenInSTEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInSTEM</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Physics</span></a></p>
MPI for Gravitational Physics<p>What is your vision for women and girls in science in 20 years?</p><p>“In 20 years, I strongly believe that the female community in science will be more represented. Nowadays, society is already exposing young girls to STEM fields more than it did in the past, for instance, through toys and cartoons. Moreover, for the older girls, the increasing visibility of female scientists as role models is inspiring and necessary to imagine themselves in the same positions.”</p><p><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/IDWGS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IDWGS</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/WomenInScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInScience</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/WomenInSTEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInSTEM</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Physics</span></a></p>
