Freedom in Science for Women in Science
It is well known that the dialogue between science and society is still difficult. Scientists are often criticized for their attitude for living in their laboratories without any contact with the external world; on the other hand, society seems to absent-mindedly follow the destinies of scientists but constantly calls them to tackle world-wide issues concerning, for example, health, quality of life and environment. In fact, degenerative diseases, nanomaterials and global warming are considered scientific revolutions: as a matter of fact, such paradigmatic turning-points will deeply modify our behavior and lives, therefore they are rather social challenges. - No Comments

L’Oréal-Unesco AWARDS

Five Fantastic Women
In 2001, I was among the five scientists who were awarded the L´Oréal-Unesco Award For Women in Science. From Brazil, I was the laureate for Latin America. I confess that I was not aware of this award before but now it is well known all over the world. The Award represents a very important honor and recognition of scientific achievements. In fact, two former L´Oréal-Unesco laureates were afterwards awarded the Nobel Prize, both in 2009: Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn in Medicine for her research on telomeres and telomerase, and Dr. Ada Yonath in Chemistry, for her studies of the ribosome. I am positive that others will follow. - No Comments

Who is Pr. Vivian Wing-Wah Yam?
NO GENDER DIFFERENCE IN SCIENCE
“I do
not think there is a difference between men and women in terms of their
intellectual ability and research capabilities. As long as one has the passion,
dedication and determination to pursue research wholeheartedly, one can excel
regardless of one’s gender or background.” - No Comments

Web review

Climate is one of the most important subject nowadays as people are becoming aware of the consequences of human behaviour. Nevertheless people are starting to contradict global warming as more and more people have started to think that it has been invented by governments to put pressure on them. As governments begin to be less active on environmental problems, it gives credit to the theory of sceptics. Let’s see what the newspapers and website can tell about this strange movement.
