Illustration of women in science

On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the contributions of women in neuroscience and digital research.

Their work continues to shape our understanding of the brain and the tools that support scientific discovery.

 Important progress has been made in advancing equal opportunities for women in academia and research. At the same time, continued efforts are needed to ensure that talented researchers at all stages of their careers can contribute fully to scientific discovery.

Diverse perspectives are essential for scientific progress and for building a collaborative research platform that support the neuroscience community. And the visibility and recognition of women in science remain important in inspiring future generation of researchers.
