Women in Life Sciences: Breaking Barriers!

Women in Life Sciences: Breaking Barriers! celebrates the achievements of women who are transforming the field through innovation, leadership, and resilience. Despite historical challenges, they are pioneering research, leading institutions, and inspiring future generations. Their contributions are vital in shaping a more inclusive, diverse, and groundbreaking scientific community.


Historical Challenges

Despite their passion and capability, women have historically faced significant hurdles in science.

  • Gender bias in academic and research settings

  • Limited access to funding, resources, and mentorship

  • Underrepresentation in leadership roles and top-tier institutions

  • Societal expectations that discouraged women from pursuing scientific careers


Current Progress and Impact

In recent years, progress has accelerated thanks to advocacy, policy changes, and the persistence of trailblazing women.

  • Increased visibility of women in research, leadership, and education

  • More support programs like scholarships, fellowships, and women-in-STEM initiatives

  • Growing representation in biotech, pharmaceuticals, environmental sciences, and public health

  • Rising influence in shaping scientific policy and innovation globally


Notable Achievements

Women in life sciences are leading pioneering projects that have global impact.

  • Developing vaccines, therapies, and diagnostics

  • Leading sustainability research in agriculture and ecology

  • Driving innovation in genetics, cell biology, and neuroscience

  • Serving as role models for younger generations entering STEM


Empowering the Next Generation

Inspiring and supporting future women scientists is key to sustained progress.

  • Mentorship programs and networking opportunities

  • STEM outreach for girls in schools and underserved communities

  • Gender-inclusive curricula in higher education

  • Policy advocacy for equal pay, parental support, and workplace equity


Conclusion: A Future Without Barriers

Women in life sciences are not just contributing—they are leading. By overcoming institutional and cultural barriers, they are redefining excellence in science and research. As we continue to celebrate their achievements, we must also commit to creating environments where talent, regardless of gender, can thrive.

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...

Multi-Modal Data

Multi-Task Federated Split Learning Across Multi-Modal Data with Privacy Preservation With the advancement of federated learning (FL), there is a growing demand for schemes that support multi-task learning on multi-modal data while ensuring robust privacy protection, especially in applications like intelligent connected vehicles. Traditional FL schemes often struggle with the complexities introduced by multi-modal data and diverse task requirements, such as increased communication overhead and computational burdens. In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving scheme for multi-task federated split learning across multi-modal data (MTFSLaMM). Our approach leverages the principles of split learning to partition models between clients and servers, employing a modular design that reduces computational demands on resource-constrained clients. To ensure data privacy, we integrate differential privacy to protect intermediate data and employ homomorphic encryption to safeguard client m...

Calibration of force sensor

Calibration of force sensor mounted in tire tread block under rolling contact condition This study investigates a  sensor calibration  method for accurately measuring the three-axis contact forces of a single tread block using sensor-equipped tires. Two calibration methods were examined: a static method based on forces generated by applying three-axis displacements, and a dynamic method using rolling contact. Significant errors were observed in the static method when road surface sensors were used as reference values during tire rotation. In contrast, the dynamic method showed minimal speed dependency but was influenced by the  slip angle  and inflation pressure.  It was confirmed that the accurate reproduction of three-axis contact forces from tire sensors is possible if calibration coefficients corresponding to the slip angle and inflation pressure are available. Several methods have been proposed previously to measure the contact force of the entire tire by a...
