Science Needs You – And Doesn't Care What's Between Your Legs

“You are capable” – message to girls who dream of a STEM career.

Think science is a guy thing? Well, Dr. María del Pilar Carreón Castro of the Institute of Nuclear Sciences (ICN) at UNAM thinks that's old news, and honestly, a bit ridiculous. “Let's get one thing straight – brains don't come with a gender label,” she argues.

The numbers back her up. Sadly, even today, most nations on Earth haven't figured out that women can rock a lab coat just as well as men. UNESCO reminds us that a measly 33.3% of the world's researchers are women. Artificial Intelligence – the super trendy field? Try 22% women. Ouch.
