B
I
don't
recall
ever
learning
about
marie
curie,
who
won
the
1911
nobel
prize
for
chemistry
or
the
largely
unrecognized
rosalind
franklin,
who
was
the
first
to
dump
to
see
the
double
helix
shape,
which
is
central
to
our
understanding
of
dna
today.
But
we
did
hear
about
albert
einstein
and
carl
sagan
nikola
tesla
and
many
others.
Despite
women's
contributions
to
science
and
technology,
they
have
seldom
been
recognized
for
their
efforts
tomorrow,
friday
february.
11Th
is
the
international
day
for
women
and
girls
in
science.
B
This
is
a
call
for
full
and
equal
access
to,
and
participation
in,
science,
technology
and
innovation
for
women
and
girls.
Despite
much
progress
and
education,
there's
still
work
to
be
done
in
attracting
and
retaining
women
and
girls
in
science,
taking
on
the
greatest
challenges
currently
facing
the
global
community
will
mean
harnessing
all
talent
as
the
world
continues
to
grapple
with
coven
19
and
the
critically
important
climate
crisis.
The
full
and
equal
participation
and
leadership
of
women
and
girls
in
science
is
imp
more
important
than
ever.
B
Although
women
are
more
likely
to
start
a
research
career
in
science
now
than
they
were
20
years
ago,
they're
also,
typically
given
smaller
research
grants
than
their
male
colleagues
and
represent
only
33
percent
of
in
national
science
academies.
These
glaring
under-representations
limit
our
ability
to
find
inclusive,
sustainable
technical
roles
in
science-based
industries.
Roberta
bondar
is
often
quoted
when
I
was
eight
years
old
to
be
a
spaceman
was
the
most
exciting
thing
I
could
imagine
so.
Mr
speaker,
I
asked
us
all
to
do.
Our
part
speak
to
young
women
and
girls
about
science.
