About this Research Topic
To celebrate International Women's Day, we are delighted to present the inaugural ‘Women in Clinical Diabetes’ series of article collections.
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. This underrepresentation can have significant consequences for the scientific community and society as a whole. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Therefore, Frontiers in Endocrinology is proud to offer this platform as a mean to provide support for all women scientists to promote their work and get visibility for their contributions in the field of clinical diabetes starting from early career stages and beyond.
The work presented here highlights the diversity of research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with particular preference given to studies focusing on female biology or applications for women.
Please note: to be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a woman scientist.
