Test your knowledge at the "Women in Science League"
Do you know who is known as the "Queen of carbon", or who was the first woman to receive a salary as a scientist? Do you know since when we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, or when did the CSIC launch the "Women and Science Committee"?
Now you can test your knowledge by playing in our "Women in Science League"! The Gender Equality Committe at ICMAB prepared and organized this contest to celebrate the 11F2021 (International Day of Women and Girls in Science). Around 35 players joined the league, and answered for about one hour the questions of the contest, which was chaired by Amanda Muñoz and Anna May Masnou.
The contest now is open to the public, so you can test it for yourself, or play it with your school class, or with your friends and family. The platform used is Quizizz, a very intuitive and easy-to-use platform.
