Please submit your article to the Research Topic that best suits the focus of your research.
Introduction and Guidelines
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes discourage girls and women from pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) research. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO.
Although underrepresented, and often unacknowledged, female researchers have been crucial to scientific advances. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
The Women in Physiology: 2021 series offers a platform to showcase women’s involvement in physiological research, together with their creativity, innovation and achievements. This Research Topic aims to highlight the work led and achieved by women in the field of Integrative Physiology. Submissions covering any area of Integrative Physiology are welcome and those covering the following themes are encouraged:
• Endocrinology and Neuroendocrinology.
• Female Reproductive Biology.
• Inflammation Responses or Physiology of inflammation.
• Nutrition.
• Venoms and poisons: their form and function in complex systems.
For more information on the description and formats of the different article types please see here.
We strongly encourage the submission of manuscripts where the lead/last or corresponding author identifies as female, and we recommend early career researchers to team up with senior female colleagues.
