Maria Paula Diogo is one of the researchers portrayed in the new edition of the book Women in Science

In 2021, Ciência Viva once again pays tribute to Portuguese women scientists. These represent 45% of the total number of researchers in our country, and their role has been fundamental to the progress of national science and technology in recent decades.

This new edition of the book Women in Science brings together 101 portraits of researchers from different generations and areas of knowledge - Biology, Mathematics, History, Philosophy, among many others —, like Maria Paula Diogo (seen in the image above, in the lower right corner), captured by photographers Clara Azevedo, José Carlos Carvalho, Luís Filipe Catarino and Rita Carmo.

The launch of this book takes place on March 8, on International Women's Day. It will be an online session, with transmission on YouTube.
