The Women’s Universe

In the Miramare Castle the conference “The Women’s Universe” is about to begin to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of JCAP, Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics.
Two exceptional female scientists engage in a dialogue on gender issues in the study of the Universe: Jocelyn Bell Burnell, discoverer of pulsars, and Licia Verde, leading researcher in the cosmic microwave background and the director of JCAP.
Drawing from their firsthand experiences, they attempt to understand how the presence of women in the world of scientific research is changing.
The discussion will be confronted by Domenica Bueti, neuroscientist at SISSA and coordinator of the Comitato Unico di Garanzia (CUG).
Andreina Contessa, director of Museo storico e il Parco del Castello di Miramare will attend the meeting.
Federica Sgorbissa, science journalist and author of the podcast Ad Astra, will introduce the meeting and the speakers.
