@WomeninPolarSci It’s time for #IDWGS2025 again!
🌊 Meet Dr Jilda Alicia Caccavo, a marine biologist studying Antarctic fish to help conserve the Southern Ocean. She uses genomics & environmental data, and leads Ant-ICON while working with SOOS, MEASO & CCAMLR.
#WomenInSTEM@WomeninPolarSci
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Women remain underrepresented in STEM, especially in polar research.
Our EDI AG is launching a year-long initiative to feature a woman in science every month.
#WomenInSTEM#IDWGS2025
@WomeninPolarSci For #IDWGS2025, we’re spotlighting women in STEM all year!
❄️ Meet Siti Aisyah Alias, Malaysian mycologist & Director of NARC. She explores fungi in polar extremes, leads expeditions, and inspires change through science, policy & outreach.
