11 Feb International Day of Women and Girls in Science

February 11th is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science — a day established by the United Nations to recognize the essential role of women and girls in science and technology. Marking days like this is one way we can work toward a future where girls and women are fully represented, but I hope they will one day become superfluous, and we can officially retire them. Needless to say, we’re not there yet.
