International Day of Women and Girls in Science
The world needs science, and science needs women.
At Optica, we're dedicated to empowering the next generation of women in optics by supporting education with the Optica Women Scholars, building community at the Optica Women Scholars conference and broadening access to vital educational resources.
Together, we can close the gender gap.
