Today, I pay tribute to all the women who, through their dedication and talent, are transforming science and technology. Their contributions not only drive innovation but also enrich knowledge with diversity and fresh perspectives.
I would like to highlight researchers such as Dr María Luisa Martínez (UB), whose work on advanced materials for the energy sector has been instrumental in improving efficiency and sustainability; Dr Elena Fernández (CSIC), a pioneer in smart materials applied to biomedicine; and Dr Carmen Ruiz, an expert in nanomaterials, whose research has revolutionised the fabrication of high-precision devices.
Their presence in STEM fields strengthens both innovation and equality. Encouraging young girls to pursue science through mentorship and educational programmes is essential. Initiatives like @MujeresIngenieras play a vital role in this endeavour.
Let’s keep moving forward—when women have opportunities in science, the entire world benefits. 🌍✨

Dear Dr. Jose,
This is a great initiative. I find women are also equally good in specialization and multi-tasking. But the social conditions in countries like India are not conducive for higher education of girls. Superstition is the root cause taking precedent over scientific temper. I once again support the idea of Dr. Jose.
Dear Jose Ygnacio Pastor ,
I think something that would really help would be to actually make it so that women don't have to choose between motherhood and a career as a scientist or technologist. Just a thought.
Best Wishes,
Haris
