Diversity of talented researchers enhances the research and discoveries we deliver as a scientific community. The United Nations is raising awareness of the critical role women and girls play in science and technology with the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. At the MPIDR, we believe in the power of diverse talents and are celebrating this day by showing what research questions drive our female researchers the most.

Some of the female researchers at MPIDR shared on Twitter what they are most passionate about in their research area. Check out our overview here.
