The woman scientist of the day

The woman scientist of the day

By: Carla Romagnino

Each day of the festival is dedicated to a woman scientist who, at the opening of the proceedings, will be presented to the public and the difficulties encountered for gender reasons and overcome with pride and determination will be highlighted.
The objective is to raise awareness of female figures who are a point of reference for young people and present them as examples of women who have distinguished themselves in the scientific field. The scientists were selected on the basis of their contribution in the field of study of the topics covered in the different days of the festival, also paying attention to their countries of birth. For each scientist, a poster was prepared with a photo and a very short biography.

The students will present the scientists:
for Luciana Nissim Momigliano: Claudia Cara (in the morning) and Carola Fozzi (in the afternoon), Liceo Pacinotti Cagliari
for Wangari Muta Maatha: Elena Cabras (in the morning) and Bianca Nioteni (in the afternoon), Liceo Pacinotti Cagliari
