 We must recognize the role of women in science. Women represent about half of the world population. And although the number of female science graduates has increased, through equality and parity, in science has not yet been a shift. Becoming a scientist is not always just gaining knowledge and information, it's gaining the power to help people. My father was a doctor in Colombia, and since I was a child, I witnessed his passion for medicine and helping others, and I was inspired by him. Girls who don't like science or think it's boring are maybe just looking into the wrong type of science and they should give it a chance. More than ever today, the world needs science and the science needs women.
