Gender equality in science
On the impact of motherhood on her career, Gillian Trindade stated: “I join the whole group of women who have seen their activities become so pervasive that they would never have had a moment to focus and run after the project. Every conference in my area for several years.” “I’ve only recently made the time to do things that bring pleasure and remind us that we women also exist outside of motherhood or profession,” she adds.
“The appreciation of mothers of researchers and scientists contributes to the permanence and progress of these women at the beginning of their academic career and helps to organize assessment scales in all areas of science,” Gisele da Mata reflects on actions that promote gender equality in science.
