International Day of Women and Girls in Science
Saturday 11th February is the UN’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a chance for everyone to take a stand against gender inequality in research.
According to a study conducted in 14 countries, the probability for female students of graduating with a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and PhD in science-related field are 18%, 8% and 2% respectively, while the percentages of male students are 37%, 18% and 6% (UN).
At IBEC in 2016, female PhD students (38) outnumbered male (29), as did technicians (17 female and 11 male), but in other positions they lag behind.
An optogenetic tool that directs cellular contractility using light
Researchers at IBEC have controlled the contractility of a group of epithelial cells using an optogenetic switch activated by light.
Researchers at IBEC have controlled the contractility of a group of epithelial cells using an optogenetic switch activated by light. The study, published in Nature Communications, explains how this novel technique allows for rapid, local and reversible changes in the forces exerted by cells, as well as tissue contraction.
