The International Day of Women and Girls in Science, celebrated annually on 11 February (United Nations’ General Assembly), is a reminder that women and girls play a critical role in science and technology communities and that their participation should be strengthened.

To celebrate this day, we contacted ESDR members to ask them to share their stories on how they chose skin research and what it means to be a woman in their field.
