L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Award 2023
Congratulations to SBOHVM's Ginny Howick for being shortlisted for the 2023 L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women In Science Rising Talents Award. We hope you enjoyed the ceremony at the House of Commons last night - well deserved!
Ginny's work focuses on the complex life cycle of the malaria parasite. Her work aims to understand how vector communities shape parasite populations and how this varies in time and space has the potential to guide interventions and control programs by allowing for strategies to be locally tailored based on parasite genomic-surveillance and entomological surveys.
Shortlisting
The L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Awards are presented every year to five outstanding women scientists – one per each of the following regions: Africa and the Arab States, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America - in recognition of their scientific accomplishments. Each scientist has had a unique career path combining exceptional talent, a deep commitment to her profession and remarkable courage in a field still largely dominated by men.
The scientific fields considered for the awards alternate every other year between Life Sciences (even years) and Physical Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science (odd years).
