Kessler Foundation Fast Takes – Women in Science - Episode 34 Welcome to a Fast Takes #WomenInScience podcast honoring the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Celebrated on February 11th, this United Nations initiative recognizes the critical role of women and girls in science and technology communities and calls for strengthening of their participation in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
