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:
My job as Chief Scientific Advisor spans disease, climate, food. I was often the only female in university maths classes. It wasn’t uncommon to hear, “Can girls do maths?” which drove me to prove them wrong. The situation’s improving but there are barriers. Juggling work with family means we lose talented women. My advice to women in science is GO FOR IT. You’re needed.
