Last Thursday, April 27, R&D Director Lourdes Gombau presented “Women and Science”, a seminar that aimed to raise awareness of the role of women in the scientific field throughout history and at present. This activity was part of the company’s monthly internal training plan and aimed to share knowledge among the different departments, as well as to enhance the presenters’ communication skills and promote team building. 

“The role of women in science is key but invisible”. 

Under this premise, Lourdes’ presentation highlighted the important contributions of women in science, as well as the inequalities that still exist in the workplace. Among the data presented, a comparison was shown between the educational and work trajectory in the field of research between different genders, where there was a significant decrease in women after the age of 30, correlated directly with motherhood. 

It was also possible to see a comparison of the scientific and technological sectors and the presence of women in them. While in the health science careers women occupy up to 70%, in the field of engineering and architecture there are only 25%. 

Finally, the team performed a simple experiment devised by a woman that played with the refraction of water. The event was a great success and the team members were engaged and enthusiastic throughout the presentation.
