On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate the curiosity and brilliance of women who shape discovery across every field.

As DIAS marks 85 years of advancing knowledge, we recognise the vital contributions of women in science - past, present, and future.

Here’s to the scientists who ask bold questions and those who will answer the next ones.
