We are delighted to present the 2022
Frontiers in Physics “Women in Science: Physical Acoustics and Ultrasonics” article collection.
Gender inequality represents one of the major problems that affect the academic world and scientific progress. Disciplines such as physics are traditionally male dominated and it is generally well established that women remain underrepresented in such fields to this day. According to data from the
UNESCO Institute of Statistics, less than 30% of the world’s researchers are women.
Scientific progress is only possible and greatly accelerated if we have gender equality. Today, while a gender equal society might be seen as both beneficial and desirable, it is becoming extremely important to show, especially to younger generations, the growing impact of women researchers in physics. The
International Day of Women and Girls in Science took place on 11th February 2022, commemorating the goal of full and equal access and participation for women and girls in science and the
International Women’s Day recently took place on 8th March 2022.
In this Research Topic, Frontiers in Physics is proud to offer a platform to promote the work of women scientists in Physical Acoustics and Ultrasonics research. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of the field and presents advances in theory, experiment and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
Please note: To be considered for this collection, the lead and/or corresponding author should be a woman.
