Promoting Women in Science

On February 11th, the United Nations, partners worldwide, and women and girls celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science to promote gender equality, honor women’s achievements in the field, and empower women and girls. In honor of this day, Project Kesher Ukraine invited Olga Malta, a senior embryologist at a top fertility clinic and author of several books about fertility, to speak with the PKU network. She discussed the obstacles that women in science face today, the role that gender plays in the development of science in Ukraine, and the field of embryology. After such a positive reaction from the participants, the PKU team is considering offering a science program for mothers and daughters.
