Book Description
In celebration of International Women's Day 2022, Frontiers in Microbiology are proud to launch this Women in Virology collection, a dedicated Frontiers Research Topic aimed at celebrating the achievements of women in this field. There is continued gender disparity in STEM field. According to UNESCO Institute for Statistics, just 30% of the world's researchers are women. While the number of women attending university is growing, they still represent the minority of doctoral students and researchers. Women remain under-represented in the highest level of academia, holding just 26% of full professorships. As highlighted by UNESCO, science and gender equality are essential to ensure sustainable development.
