Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

Yep. Currently, according to data from UIS, less than 30% of the world’s researchers are women, and women (and girls) continue to be disproportionately under-represented across the #STEM sector worldwide.

Today, on #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience - let's celebrate and elevate the women and girls who are paving their way in #STEM studies and careers, and shine a light on the systematic barriers that hold #WomenInScience back! 📲 

To find out more stats on the work the world needs to do to increase diversity in #STEM fields see this article.
