I had the pleasure of speaking yesterday at the Gender and Science Communication event in Bilbao @generoycomunicacion.com, it was wonderful to see over 200 participants at a conference focusing on this topic.

‘Las Sirgueras’, by artist Dora Salazar, is a recognition of the importance of women's work and the path to equality. The work pays tribute to the figure of the sirgueras (the rope girls), women who towed vessels along the estuary using only a rope.
