@unicef.org #IDWGS Intl. Day of Women and Girls in Science, 11th Feb, celebrated also 2026 @tudresden.bsky.social: Maren Weissig and Stanislaw Bondarew from the StuRa.
Visibility shapes the future of science. To celebrate #IDWGS that just passed, we are highlighting women who built microbiology and inviting you to help us highlight those shaping it today.
Drop your nominations below. We want to feature them in our blog: buff.ly/kk7Ieye
Dr. Julie LaRoche, @dalhousie.bsky.social, studies phytoplankton (tiny algae at the base of the food chain) and microbes that recycle nutrients in the ocean. She focuses on nitrogen-fixing diazotrophs that turn nitrogen gas into ammonia, naturally fertilizing the ocean. ➡️ bit.ly/4rJjTvE #IDWGS 🌊
Dr. Isla Myers-Smith is a Professor at the University of British Columbia, who explores how climate change is transforming the Arctic, from the “greening” of the tundra as shrubs expand, to the thawing of permafrost as temperatures rise. 🌡️❄️ Learn more: bit.ly/46GIGbk #IDWGS

Dr. @nicoleletourneau.bsky.social, @ucalgary.bsky.social Research Excellence Chair (Parent and Child Health), is dedicated to helping children get the best possible start in life. How? By supporting their parents—especially in high-risk situations. Learn more: bit.ly/3ZV7iJK #IDWGS
On Wednesday, we hosted the symposium, “Sex & Gender Differences in Medicine & Research,” with Athena’s Journey.
Sex & gender influence disease risk, symptoms & outcomes - yet they are underrepresented in research.
Integrating them isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Did you know girls are twice as likely to develop certain mental illnesses as of puberty? This drives the research of Nafissa Ismail, a professor at @uottawa.ca and advocate for women's health, who studies how stress during adolescence may increase vulnerability. Learn more: bit.ly/3OtmcEs #IDWGS
Dr. Mita Dasog, Associate Professor & Tier 1CRC at @dalhousieu.bsky.social, develops low-cost, sustainable materials from abundant elements that use sunlight to make clean fuels, treat water, break down pollutants, and extract minerals. Learn more: bit.ly/4bysU5P #IDWGS
Dr. @bukolaksalami.bsky.social, professor at @ucalgary.bsky.social, studies how racism shapes health, particularly in Black communities, and partners with these communities to create meaningful, lasting change that advances health equity and social justice worldwide. ➡️ bit.ly/49YSQGD #IDWGS
🔬 👩🔬To mark International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we hear from women scientists whose work is helping turn research into real impact. Women in science are not only part of innovation - they are shaping solutions that improve livelihoods.
#IDWGS #WomeninScience #EveryVoiceinScience
We continue to support inclusive and high-quality research environments.

Crevasse in a whitish rock with yellow crystals of gaidonnayite and milky natrolite on a black background. At the Museum of Nature.
To celebrate this year’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science, here is gaidonnayite, named after Dr Gabrielle Donnay, nestled in with some natrolite.
She has two minerals named after her!! Two of the very few minerals discovered in Canada named after a woman. #WomenInSTEM #IDWGS ⚒️🧪
Mélanie Lemire, full professor at @ulaval.ca and researcher at @chudequebec.bsky.social, studies environmental contaminants, ocean changes, and nutrition impacting Indigenous peoples and coastal populations. Learn more: bit.ly/3ZAvd1b #IDWGS 🌊
This report highlights the fact that progress for #WomeninSTEM has been uneven and lacks entrenchment.
As we observe another #IDWGS, I hope we can increasingly move beyond flashy posts from institutions & corps, and toward open dialogue about systemic changes needed for women to thrive in science
On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we encourage women and girls to explore STEM fields and applaud the accomplishments of those working on life-changing research. #IDWGS
