Celebrating the 9th International Day of Women and Girls in Science (UN)

In the realm of science, women continue to break barriers and make significant contributions, particularly in fields traditionally dominated by men. At the University of Guelph, a hub of academic excellence, the female students in our labs are at the forefront of discovery.

With a passion for understanding and preserving our natural world, these women are pursuing degrees in fields like marine biology, environmental science, and ecology. Their research efforts delve into critical issues such as the impact of climate change on aquatic ecosystems, the sustainability of fisheries, and the conservation of aquatic biodiversity.

Through their dedication and innovative research, they are not only advancing scientific knowledge but also inspiring future generations of women to pursue careers in STEM fields. As we celebrate their achievements, let us continue to support and empower women in science, ensuring that their voices are heard and their contributions valued.
