On International Women's Day, we at Biomol would like to send our warmest greetings to all female scientists, technical assistants, lab assistants, students and all women who are part of the scientific community and keep the labs running in research, clinical and industrial settings! Here at Biomol, we are proud to say that 50% of our staff are women and mothers, many of whom are from science backgrounds. We all work every day to provide our customers with high quality research reagents to contribute to science!
International Women's Day has been celebrated since 1911. At that time, women fought for their right to vote, equal rights and emancipation of workers. Since then, a lot has happened, but only 5% of all Nobel Prizes awarded so far have gone to women. With the opening of universities to women, this percentage has increased, but there is still room for improvement in the visibility of women in science and STEM professions.
So let's go ladies, we still have a lot to do!
