Thursday is International Day of Girls and Women in Science.
Not only is Science Museum Oklahoma run by a woman, but the museum also offers opportunities for girls to get involved all year long.
Sherry Marshall is the president of Science Museum Oklahoma and she said she first went to the museum when she was a young girl and that exposure to the world of science is what made her realizer her passion.
“You don’t really notice the impact when it happens but later in life there was just a comfort with science that happened, just because of being introduced to it at the right age and finding the right encouragement, said Marshall.
A new campaign by the Institute of Sociology of the Czech Academy of Sciences celebrates women in science, but it also points out to the fact that Czech female scientists are not equally represented. The official hashtag of the campaign, launched on social media on Wednesday, is #WomenInScience.
The campaign called Female Scientists’ Successes in 2020 is coordinated by the Sociological Institute’s National Centre for Gender &Science. It will run from Wednesday until February 11, which marks the International Day of Girls and Women in Science.
Under the hashtag ZenyVeVede or WomenInScience, the institute will share successful stories of dozens of Czech as well as foreign female researchers on Facebook and other social media.
