L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Awards honour five women researchers in mathematics, astrophysics
On the International Day for Women and Girls in Science, celebrated on 11 February, UNESCO and the L’Oréal Foundation honoured five women researchers in the fields of astrophysics, mathematics, chemistry and informatics as part of the 23rd International Prize for Women in Science.
On this occasion, UNESCO published a global study on gender equality in scientific research. Entitled To be smart, the digital revolution will need to be inclusive, it shows that although the number of women in scientific research has risen to one in three, women remain a minority in mathematics, computer science, engineering and artificial intelligence. Every year, women write as many scientific articles as men, but their chances of appearing in prestigious journals are lower. While women represent 33% of researchers, on average they only occupy 12% of seats on national science academies

A research team led by Professor Soebur Razzaque from the University of Johannesburg predicted gamma-ray burst (GRB) behaviour. One such burst recently disrupted cell phone reception in South Africa. While Earth gets blasted by mild short GRBs regularly, the research team found that giant flare GRB 200415A came from another possible source.
It erupted from a very rare, powerful neutron star called a magnetar, a star dying soon after the beginning of the Universe. Their findings were published in
Gamma-ray bursts explained
GRB explosions can disrupt mobile phone reception on Earth. Prof Razzaque explains that when a star dies, “it will get bigger and become a red giant star. After that it will collapse into a small compact star called a white dwarf”.
