IOP Publishing (IOPP) and the Institute of Physics (IOP) join the global community to mark International Women’s Day (IWD). This year’s theme, ’Accelerate Action,’ encourages steps to support and advance gender equality.
Some of the ways we’re marking International Women’s Day:
Celebrating pioneering female scientists
- Read about Émilie Du Châtelet’s Newton’s remarkable contributions to physics in the HAPP 10th Anniversary Commemorative Volume.
- Find out more about ‘Mary Somerville the polymath: mathematics, astronomy and orange marmalade’
Webinar: Women and physics – navigating history, careers, and the path forward
Watch Physics World’s insightful webinar, sponsored by IOP Publishing ebooks, based on the book Women and Physics, to explore the historical journey, challenges, and achievements of women in physics. The session will cover:
- Women’s historical role in physics.
- Current female representation in education and careers.
- Balancing family life and career.
- How men can play a critical role in fostering a supportive environment.
