BIP : The Institut Pasteur Newsletter, May 28, 2021

So what is the state of gender equality in scientific circles? How does prejudice, whether conscious or unconscious, concerning gender difference affect the quality of scientific research at the Institut Pasteur? How can we improve well-being in the workplace and facilitate the careers of female scientists?

Given the long-running epidemic situation and the vital role of science in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pasteurdon, the Institut Pasteur's annual campaign to raise awareness and funds, has a major part to play in boosting the visibility of the many research programs under way at the Institut Pasteur aimed at improving human health.

As announced in the newsletter on Friday May 7, the Institut Pasteur recently adopted a policy on managing and sharing research data and software codes, together with a series of practical guides.

The links between science and science fiction go much further than the mere fact that they share a word. Science fiction can be used to talk about science and to give each individual the means to grasp the basics of science and understand major scientific achievements; and in turn, science can be used to write science fiction, to give it a solid framework or explore its boldest theories.
