“I sometimes dream of a world where we no longer say ‘female scientist’... but simply ‘scientist’.” At the 2025 L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Awards ceremony, Yasmine Belkaid, Director General of the Institut Pasteur, spoke with strength and emotion.
A powerful message reminding us that science needs all voices, all backgrounds, and all experiences.
A call to defend equality, research, and women's rights around the world. Because the future of science is built with all of us.
