The book that brings together portraits of 101 women scientists highlights their contribution to the country’s progress. The launch will be broadcast online and it is supported by the Portuguese Association of Women in Science.
Ciência Viva (Living Science) continues to pay tribute to Portuguese women scientists with the 2023 edition of the book “Women in Science”. The new edition of the book brings together 101 portraits of female researchers from different generations and areas of knowledge.
Photos captured by photographers Alípio Padilha, Ana Brígida, Diana Tinoco, and Rodrigo Cabrita illustrate the success stories of women in various fields, from biology to mathematics, from chemistry to social sciences, from physics to archaeology, from neurosciences to geography, from engineering to history, from space sciences to philosophy.
Throughout the editorial project “Women in Science”, Ciência Viva highlights the role of female researchers and their contributions to the rooting of science in Portuguese society, in the expectation that these stories will inspire young people to pursue their interests in science.
With launches in 2016, 2019 and 2021, all editions of the “Women in Science” editorial project are supported by AMONET – Portuguese Association of Women in Science. The launch ceremony for the 2023 edition will be streamed on the YouTube page of the Pavilion of Knowledge.
