Young Women in Science booklet
New for 2009, Science/AAAS in collaboration with the L'Oréal Corporate Foundation is proud to bring you this Young Women in Science booklet. Following on from last year's very successful Women in Science booklet, this year we bring you more exciting and inspirational stories. These new profiles, from interviews with young women at the start of their science careers, tell their stories of passion and persistence--what drives and excites them about their work in the sciences. We hope that young girls (and boys)-as well as their educators-will find fun and inspiration in these pages and learn a little about what life as a scientist is all about.
