Celebrating International Day of Women & Girls in Science at bg电子娱乐场
In the United States women represent 50.4% of the US population according to the US Census Bureau, yet in the STEM field only of jobs are filled by women. Every year, the number of women and girls in STEM is increasing, with a increase from 2011 to 2021. We are proud to be an organization that not only uplifts and supports women in STEM but is led by an impressive group of female scientists who pave the way for future generations.
In celebration of International Day of Women and Girls in Science, bg电子娱乐场 is excited to announce the launch of the application period for its 2024 Martha Schwarzkopf Award for Women in Science. This award, a tribute to one of the first female business leaders in Germany and a founder of the Institute for Hair Research, commemorates Martha鈥檚 entrepreneurial and innovative spirit as well as the empathy and dedication with which she supported her fellow female scientists.
