Catherine Jami

 In this episode, we speak with Catherine Jami, Secretary General of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology. (IUHPST) Catherine speaks out about the evolution of discrimination in the science field,  the need for women to support each other in science systems, and the specific challenges she has faced as a woman over the course of her career in mathmatics. Catherine encourages young girls interested in STEM not to give up - science needs them. International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology was a supporting applicant of the Gender Gap Project - a global approach to addressing and reducing the gender gap in STEM.

 

This first episode also discusses the Gender Gap In Science project, which involved numerous international science unions and organizations including:

• the International Mathematical Union (IMU), through its Committee for Women in Mathematics, 
• the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), 
• the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (IUHPST)
