On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we want to highlight the importance of inspiring the next generation of female physicists to break barriers and shape the future of science.
Women Are Underrepresented in Physics:
In 2017, women earned 21% of physics bachelors’ degrees and 20% of physics doctorates [source]. Barriers like gender biases, lack of role models, and limited mentorship often deter young women from pursuing careers in physics, perpetuating this disparity.
Inspire The Next Generation of Female Physicists Early:
The journey to encouraging the next generation of female physicists starts early. Research shows that introducing physics concepts to girls at a young age can spark a lasting interest in the subject. A well-designed science curriculum, combined with hands-on experiments and interactive lessons in school laboratories, plays a key role in nurturing curiosity and engagement in the subject.
