Heute ist der „Internationale Tag für Frauen und Mädchen in der Wissenschaft“. Er soll sichtbar machen, was Frauen in der Wissenschaft bereits leisten – und daran erinnern, dass Chancengleichheit noch nicht überall Realität ist.
Wir nehmen diesen Tag zum Anlass, eine neue Blogreihe zu starten, in der Kolleginnen von ihren Wegen in die Wissenschaft berichten.
Den Auftakt macht Dr. #AnnaLenaLorenz, Community-Managerin für den @orkg an der #TIB: https://blog.tib.eu/2026/02/11/frauen-in-der-wissenschaft-dr-anna-lena-lorenz

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in #Science! As with all days created to remind us our species is wise and diverse, I am excited to use today to reflect on how I can do more to empower all human beings to participate in the great scientific enterprise, and to support all of my colleagues regardless of their personal journey and struggles.

Immensely grateful for the many talented female researchers in my team - and for the several that will still join this year!

Globally, only 33% of researchers are women.🌎

However, the fight against #ClimateChange & #Biodiversity loss has no gender!

On #IDWGIS, @ipbes reaffirms its commitment to gender equality #ForNature! 🪸
