Like most professions in India, the field of science is very much male-dominated. When asked to name an Indian scientist, most of us can only think of APJ Abdul Kalam or Srinivasa Ramanujan. It’s not often that someone names an Indian woman scientist.
This might make it seem like there aren’t many women contributing to the field of science, but that is not the case. Many women, over the years, have made immense contribution to science, and have also paved a path for others to follow. Let us look at seven Indian women scientists who have broken stereotypes and are an inspiration to all.

EU foreign ministers have discussed the situation with the massing of Russian troops in occupied Crimea and possible ways to de-escalate tensions, but Russia s desire to participate in this work remains unclear, according to EU High Representative Josep Borrell.
He said this at a press conference following a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council on Thursday, May 6, according to an Ukrinform correspondent. We went on to discuss Russia s recent [military] build-up in illegally-annexed Crimea and on the Ukrainian border. We discussed the de-escalation of the tensions and the implementation of the Minsk agreements as the only way forward for a lasting political solution. But it is unclear that Russia wants to engage fully in this respect and unclear is a mild word, Borrell said.

Foreign Affairs Council (Defence): Remarks by High Representative/Vice-President Josep Borrell at the press conference
Check against delivery!
Well we had three different meetings today, maybe to celebrate that it was our first physical encounter since last August - soon it will be one year. We decided to hold three different meetings.
We started with the Steering Board of the European Defence Agency. It offered the Defence Ministers the possibility to review the state of play in the implementation of the Coordinated Annual Review on Defence (CARD) and to have a look at the recommendations of CARD, looking in particular at collaborative opportunitiesc in capability development, research and technology, which are the basis of the strategic autonomy in the field of defence.
