International Day of Women and Girls in Science | Rajeshwari & Leonardo

On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we wrap up our series of double interviews, where scientists reflect on key topics such as equity, diversity, and inclusion in research.
🎥 In the sixth and final video, Rajeshwari, an Indian PhD student in Italy, and Leonardo, an Italian researcher planning to move abroad for his research, discuss the role of women in science and the importance of international experiences.
🔎 What challenges do women still face in STEM fields? How can studying and working abroad help build a stronger scientific career? Rajeshwari shares her perspective on the barriers women encounter in research, including stereotypes and difficulties in balancing professional and personal life. Leonardo reflects on how academic environments are evolving and how international experiences can be a key factor in professional growth.
📢 Although this series ends today, the conversation on equity, diversity, and inclusion in science must continue. Follow our work and be part of the dialogue!
