[Wigsat-l] L'Oréal-UNESCO Women in Science Booklet

L'Oréal-UNESCO Women in Science Booklet

New for 2009, Science/AAAS in collaboration with the L'Oréal Corporate  
Foundation is proud to bring you this Young Women in Science booklet.  
Following on from last year's very successful Women in Science  
booklet, this year we bring you more exciting and inspirational  
stories. These new profiles, from interviews with young women at the  
start of their science careers, tell their stories of passion and  
persistence —what drives and excites them about their work in the  
sciences. We hope that young girls (and boys)—as well as their  
educators—will find fun and inspiration in these pages and learn a  
little about what life as a scientist is all about.
