About

In celebration of International Women's Day 2022, Frontiers in Microbiology are proud to launch this Women in Microbial Physiology and Metabolism collection, a dedicated Frontiers Research Topic aimed at celebrating the achievements of women in this field.

There is continued gender disparity in STEM field. According to UNESCO Institute for Statistics, just 30% of the world's researchers are women. While the number of women attending university is growing, they still represent the minority of doctoral students and researchers. Women remain under-represented in the highest level of academia, holding just 26% of full professorships. As highlighted by UNESCO, science and gender equality are essential to ensure sustainable development.

This Research Topic will act as a platform to promote the work of female researchers and highlight the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Microbial Physiology and Metabolism. This is open for submissions including Original Research, Reviews, Mini Reviews, Methods, Opinion and Perspective articles, and all manuscripts will be handled by female editors.

Please note that to be considered for this collection, at least one corresponding author should be researcher who identifies as a woman.
