International day of Women and Girls in Science. February 11th
2024
On the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, and through the #100tífiques program, Carme Gallego gave a talk at the Joan Casas School in the town of Sant Antoni de Vilamajor. The talk was aimed at girls and boys in the 6th grade.
Researchers Maria Jose Barallobre and Pilar Lozano conducted a participatory workshop on nervous system development with third-grade students from Institut Escola Trinitat Nova at our research center. The objective was to provide them with a closer look at scientific research.
Murielle Saade collaborated in a poster exhibition commemorating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science at Escola Pi d’en Xandri (Sant Cugat del Vallès):
Do you know how many mothers are scientists, engineers, researchers, doctors, nurses, or architects in our school? Come and find out by visiting the poster exhibition commemorating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Let’s put an end to the historical invisibility of women in these fields and create role models for future generations.

Meet some of the women in our institute. Our women scientists are passionate about science but they have many other passions too!

Women and Science, yes we can. At the Institute of Molecular Biology of Barcelona almost 40% of group leaders are women.
European (and Spanish) laboratories are highly populated by young female predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers. However, the proportion of women in positions of responsibility (leading laboratory researchers, departmental / center directors) remains low
This is an endemic disease in all professional activities. However, in addition to the intrinsic obstacle that often implies to make compatible professional and family activities, in the scientific career we face a surprising added problem; even in the 21st century, 67% of europeans think that women lack the necessary skills for science such as rational thinking, analytical and practical mind and / or perseverance, among others (https://www.theguardian.com/women-in-leadership/2015/sep/24/67-of-europeans-dont-believe-women-have-the-skills-to-be-scientists). Why are there only 18 female scientists Nobel Prize winners versus 590 men?
The example of successful professional women in their field is vital for future researchers to take the necessary steps towards the scientific career. In 2020, 35% of the national projects in the CSIC were led by women, the IBMB, as an institute of the CSIC, improves that average, having 37.93% of PI women. Female researchers at IBMB maintain a very high level of scientific competitiveness internationally without having to give up forming a family, if they wish. Counting their experience they want to contribute to eliminate the opacity on the scientific women so that young researchers do not abandon science. Society cannot afford this waste of highly qualified talent.
