Celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science Today!

[ICTP/infopoint - Emili Sabina]

Dear colleagues,

ICTP will be celebrating the 2022 International Day of Women and Girls 
in Science on 11 February. The UN's International Day puts a spotlight 
on the challenges that women scientists face and the benefits that 
equality can bring to everyone.

There are many ways to celebrate the day!

On Friday 11 February, from 9:30 to 11, by the *ICTP Reading Room* (next 
to bar), in the Leonardo Building, ICTP staff, researchers and students 
can visit an exhibit of statistics and a book display, take part in an 
interactive activity, discuss strategies regarding women scientists at 
ICTP with colleagues and fellow scientists. Snacks will be served!

ICTP is also organising a virtual event for high schools, featuring a 
talk by ICTP scientists Erika Coppola and Anna Pirani, called 
"*Scienziate per il Cambiamento Climatico*" (in Italian). The event will 
take place on Zoom, at 11:30am. Download the flyer here
