Workshop proposed by: Eprouvette UNIL

Languages: English and French

"The Matilda effect" or how women have been systematically erased in science.
Marthe Gautier, Jocelyn Bell, Marie Dentière, Trotula of Salerno... do these names ring a bell? Women of science, they have contributed to advances in research in fields such as biology, astrophysics, theology and medicine. Yet they have all been hit by the "Matilda effect": unlike their male colleagues, their names rarely appear in scientific publications or in the media, or even in the awarding of prizes.
Through audio, video and written excerpts, you will be invited to reflect on and discuss the systematic erasure of women in science. This is an opportunity to explore the factors behind this phenomenon, which is still present, and to encourage these women to become more visible.
