International Women’s Day
& International Day of Women
& Girls in Science!
Continuing the legacy left by female scientists like Marie Curie, this International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11th February), we celebrated the brilliant women at Agrigum who are pioneering Gum Acacia Research and Development and transforming the industry.
Their work reflects the beauty of science—driving innovation, sustainability, and excellence. This month is also International Women’s Day (8th March), so we are dedicating this newsletter to Women and Girls in Science across the world.
“I am among those who think that science has great beauty.”
— Marie Curie
DID YOU KNOW?
According to the UNESCO Science Report: towards 2030, women represent only 33.3% of researchers globally, despite leading many ground-breaking scientific efforts. Agrigum supports increasing this representation.
