In honour of International Women’s Day 2023, Cosmos is showcasing the exceptional and interesting female researchers and scientists in Australia.
We’re not highlighting the work of one or two who have made important scientific breakthroughs, or brought new understanding to our community, although we could do that every day. We’re deliberately showcasing the vast number of women in a variety of fields who we can celebrate together.
Share this list with your daughters, sons, and school students. Let them be inspired and excited. Let them understand the full range of fascinating and important areas of science these women are working in.
Cosmos is grateful for the support of the Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) and Australia’s five Learned Academies who helped us to create this list.
