New Calendar about Female Physicists
An annual calendar for 2021 which highlights the role female researchers have had in nuclear astrophysics through the ages has been developed within the European COST-network “ChETEC” (Chemical Elements as Tracers of the Evolution of the Cosmos) within EU’s Horizon 2020.
The calendar has been translated to about 20 languages and the translation to the Swedish calendar has been made by Bengt Edvardsson and Andreas Korn at the Division of Astronomy and Space Physics.
The idea behind the calendar is to create role models for female physicists and it is precisely a female nuclear physicist, Maria Lugaro from Hungary, who is behind the project.
