    “We need to communicate more and better – both about science itself and about the remarkable contributions that women bring in the field.
  • And, the efforts to explain why and how, and make science relatable, face an enormous pushback from individuals and teams spewing disinformation to undermine science – for financial, political or other gains.” Nature Awards and the Estée Lauder companies, through the Inspiring Women in Science Awards programme1, seek to address this."
  • In their sixth year, Nature Awards for Inspiring Women in Science are one example of that commitment.
