Photo exhibition: Not a woman’s job?
Changing Faces of Science and Tech
The photo exhibition Not a woman’s job? is organized by the Perception Change Project at the United Nations Office at Geneva with the participation of the European Organization for Nuclear Research and the International Telecommunication Union.
The Organizers have invited ITU stakeholders to submit photos featuring the achievements and stories of women (18+) who have challenged gender stereotypes and overcome barriers in the field of science and technology.
Celebrating women who dare to lead, innovate and forge new paths in science and tech:
Emmanuelle Charpentier is a French microbiologist, geneticist and biochemist. In 2020, with Jennifer Doudna, she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for the development of a genome editing method” (via CRISPR‑Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats). This is the first scientific Nobel Prize ever won by just two women. In France, she is a member of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Technologies.
