About this Research Topic
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Therefore, Frontiers in Veterinary Science is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Veterinary Experimental and Diagnostic Pathology, including high-quality basic and applied research that contributes substantially to our understanding of the pathogenesis of disease, its molecular, functional, and morphologic manifestations, and the development and application of novel techniques and biomarkers that enhance our ability to understand, detect, diagnose, and monitor disease in animals.
The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Veterinary Experimental and Diagnostic Pathology research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
Please note: to be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.
