International Day of Women and Girls in Science with SFU Faculty of Education
The eighth International Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated on February 11, 2023, under the theme “Innovate. Demonstrate. Elevate. Advance. Sustain. (I.D.E.A.S.): Bringing Everyone Forward for Sustainable and Equitable Development”. Read the official United Nations statement below:
“This year, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (IDWGIS) will focus on the role of Women and Girls in Science as it relates to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in review at the forthcoming High-Level Political Forum (HLPF), namely SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation), SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy), SDG 9 (industry, innovation, and infrastructure), SDG 11 (sustainable cities and communities) and SDG17 (means of implementation), while following up on discussions on water held during from the “Water Unites Us” 7th IDWGIS, the 2nd High-Level International Conference on the International Decade for Action on Water for Sustainable Development 2018-2028, held in Dushanbe, and the 2nd UN Ocean Conference and its High-Level Symposium on Water held in Lisbon, as a contribution for the 2023 UN Water Conference, and other UN Fora. In doing so the IDWGIS aims to connect the International Community to Women and Girls in Science, strengthening the ties between science, policy, and society for strategies oriented towards the future.”

Representation in STEM Matters: A Doctoral Student’s Journey as a Scientist, Educator and UN Delegate
Making the leap from one field to another is not an uncommon practice, but for doctoral student Poh Tan, integrating science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), in particular stem cell research, with education and obtaining a second PhD after successfully completing the first one has been a uniquely challenging and rewarding journey.
How Informal Science Education Settings Can Foster Relationships Between Science and Society
Dr. Ana Maria Navas Iannini’s research specializes in informal science education (ISE), primarily in the ways in which informal science settings – such as museums, science centres, maker spaces, and science clubs – foster relationships between science and society.
