We are proud to celebrate the 8th annual International Day of Women and Girls in Science (IDWGIS)! Please join us in honoring the extraordinary and brilliant women in our global community who make a difference in the lives of patients and families each and every day, inspiring generations to come.
The theme of the 8th IDWGIS assembly is Innovate. Demonstrate. Elevate. Advance. (I.D.E.A.). IDWGIS aims to bridge the gap between the global community and women and girls in STEM fields, as well as strengthen the ties between science, policy, and society for strategies that are oriented towards a more equitable future.
It takes a village to make a difference, and none of the remarkable milestones that the Foundation has achieved would be possible without the brilliant women in our Jeffrey Modell Centers Network, who are physicians, researchers, scientists, nurses, patients, and family members who constantly strive to make a difference. We aim to empower and encourage women and girls in our community who are working around the world to create a brighter future for people living with PI.
If we all work together to celebrate innovation, encourage a more inclusive environment, and increase the opportunities available to young women, imagine what our future might look like? Today, and every day, we celebrate and extend a huge “thank you” to all of the women and girls around the world working and dreaming to change the future of PI!
