The Science Museum of the University of Navarra reissues in Basque and Catalan the book "Women in Science".

The Science Museum of the University of Navarra, in partnership with Acunsa, the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) / Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU, and the Euskampus Foundation, has republished in Basque y Catalan the book "Women in Science".

"Women in science" is a project of the Science Museum that aims to make visible in an entertaining way the biography of women scientists who are unknown to the general public but who have marked the history of science with their discoveries and contributions.

This book, published in Spanish, Basque and Catalan, aims to be an excellent tool to bring science closer to girls and young women, provide them with female references and awaken scientific interests. Thanks to the different challenges and activities presented in the book and the links to the original videos, the history of these women and the progress of science and technology can be learned. The book can be downloaded free of charge from the Science Museum's website.

The Science Museum is currently working to publish the book in other languages such as Galician or English.
