The underrepresentation of women and girls in leadership positions and higher education in fields of science remains a systematic problem. However, over the last few decades, the scenario has changed significantly. Now, more than ever, women around the world are shattering centuries of misbeliefs and making noteworthy contributions in science.
One such young woman is Bangladeshi astrophysicist Tonima Tasnim Ananna, who recently topped the 2020 edition of
Science News (SN) magazine s SN 10: Scientists to Watch, for her outstanding work and research on black holes. The American bi-weekly magazine is devoted to articles about new scientific and technical developments, typically gleaned from recent scientific and technical journals.

Popular bi-weekly magazine Science News published their 2020 edition of SN Top 10 Scientists for this year. For the sixth consecutive year, Science News featured 10 early and mid-career scientists who are aiming to solve some of science s biggest challenges.
Bangladeshi astrophysicist Tonima Tasnim Ananna topped the list this year for her outstanding work and research on black holes. With the help of artificial intelligence, Ananna has successfully captured the most complete picture yet of black holes across the universe where they are, how they grow and how they affect their environments.
