We’re looking forward to next year’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science. So, we want to hear from Double Helix readers who are girls.
Answer this question for your chance to be a part of our Day of Women and Girls in Science articles, which will appear in Double Helix magazine and online:
In 100 words or fewer, what kind of scientist do you want to be one day?
To be in the running, email your entry to helixassist@csiro.au. Include your name and age. Ask a parent for permission before entering.
Entries are due 14 October 2022.
We can’t wait to showcase our future science champions and provide inspiration for all our readers!
Women and girls in science
The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is on 11 February each year, led by the United Nations.
This day helps us appreciate the role of women and girls in science, and work towards gender equality. The United Nations recognises, “A significant gender gap has persisted throughout the years at all levels of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines all over the world.”
We believe that women and girls of all ages should have full and equal access to and participation in science, technology and innovation.
