Abstract:
As it is the case for many research groups in STEM fields worldwide, the collaborative research center "Waves to Weather" (W2W) lacks a balanced representation of genders at all career stages, and in particular at the professor level. In order to address this issue, the management team of W2W produced two comic books featuring illustrated interviews of inspiring female and male role models in different STEM fields, in different countries and at different career stages. This project, as well as the response it has triggered so far, and the many efforts of W2W to address gender gap and equal opportunities will be presented.
