Female Pioneers of Research

Everyone knows Marie Curie or Emmy Noether. But what about Rosalind Franklin? After all, she discovered the double helix structure of DNA. The Instagram post by our project for “Women and Girls in Science Day” in February 2025 sparked many positive reactions: Numerous female students were delighted that female role models from the world of science were finally being highlighted. It became clear to us: We can and must do more here!

Here you can find all 75 Episodes of “Female Pioneers of Research” of KIT, Germany, and worldwide as PDF-Files. More information on the series, you can find in the Diversity Magazine of KIT
