The world of female researchers

In this section, PICO will collect different talks from female researchers, with a focus on young girls – aiming to encourage them to consider joining Physics-related occupations as adults.

The leading actor of this first talk is Fabiola Giannotti, General Director of CERN, showcasing her experience in CERN during an event at the University of Thessaloniki.

The second talk saw as leading actor Wanda Diaz Merced, a Puerto Rican astronomer known for using sonification to turn large data sets into audible sound.

The third talk saw Dr. Tamara Vázquez-Schröder, a researcher specializing in particle physics at IFAE, giving a talk entitled “Go Above and Beyond (the Standard Model) with Particle Colliders”. The talk will also reflect on her experience as a woman in science and the importance of visibility and diversity in the field.
