Dear colleagues,

Between February 11, International Day of Women and Girls in Science, 
and March 8, International Women's Day, the Organization for Women in 
Science for the Developing World (OWSD) is celebrating women in science 
with a series of four short online film screenings. The *'Science Snack 
Break' *series**is designed to provide a dose of entertainment and 
inspiration in a quick format that almost anyone can squeeze into their 
day. Each of the four films, which were produced under the OWSD Visions 
<https://www.owsd.net/news/news-events/announcing-owsd-visions-video-series> project, 
is between 5-6 minutes long and will be followed by a brief Q&A with the 
film's director and protagonist and with filmmaker Nicole Leghissa, who 
conceived and oversees OWSD Visions (you can find all of the previous 
OWSD Visions films here 
<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFWQfy1-z-jWCLMkHFKIfUb_XEcyRbgss>). 


The series is kicking off next *Wednesday, 14 February at 15:00 CET 
*with a screening of the film featuring textile scientist - and OWSD 
Early Career fellow - Pendo Bigambo, who is recycling cotton and other 
textile waste from the used clothing market in Tanzania and turning it 
into useful nanomaterials.
