Preview of the Femmes de science series at the Saint-André des Arts cinema

Dive into the inspiring journeys of ten remarkable women scientists, who are redefining the boundaries of knowledge, and of a predominantly male scientific universe.

Despite their fundamental contributions, women scientists too often remain invisible. Indeed, since the inception of the Nobel Prize, 894 men have received an award, compared with just 60 women. The documentary series Femmes de science, made up of 10 episodes of 12 minutes each, highlights remarkable female figures from the contemporary scientific world, often unknown to the general public. Whether they are directors of research units, PhDs or members of the Academy of Sciences, we discover, through these intimate portraits, their unique career paths, their challenges, their discoveries and the impact of their work.

Their testimonies are a source of inspiration for the younger generations, demonstrating that cryptography, astrophysics, maieutics, biology or even neuroscience are scientific fields where women have their rightful place. 
 

The series spotlights 10 renowned scientists, including 6 female academics.
