On the occasion of International Women's Day, Dr. Guiomar Hernández, awardee of the POLiS Award of Excellence, shares her thoughts on diversity and gender equity in science.
"Battery research is currently a hot topic with many parties trying to mitigate climate change, using renewable energy, and electrifying the transport sector. These are extraordinary challenges that only a diverse team of people with different mindsets and backgrounds can successfully solve. Diversity and gender equity in science is key to advance across innovation and technology."
