International Women’s Rights Day: Where Do Women Stand in Science?

March 8 is a reminder of an important fact: worldwide, only 1 in 3 researchers is a woman. Despite progress, inequalities persist: less than 2 out of 5 STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) graduates are women, and they make up only 12% of national science academy members.

At the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (LPS), we are fully committed to these discussions and to promoting women in science. Watch our physicist Hélène Bouchiat take part in a debate on Public Sénat about this topic:
