Reflexión final
Women have always been in science. Sometimes they were not allowed in labs, universities, or important jobs. Sometimes their work was ignored or credited to men.
But science moves forward when everyone has the same opportunities. We don’t need “more women in science” as a favour. We need it because it is fair and because it makes science better.
