The United Nations International Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated each year on 11th February. It reminds us that women and girls play an essential role in the scientific and technological community and that their involvement must be promoted. The theme of this year's day is Women Scientists at the Forefront of the Fight Against COVID-19. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has clearly demonstrated the critical role of women researchers in different stages of the fight against COVID-19, from advancing the knowledge on the virus, to developing techniques for testing, and finally to creating the vaccine against the virus.

Please see the message below and the attached PDF from the Galway Education Centre who are hosting an online workshop for parents on the theme of positive psychology: Dear Parents, We understand that parents are dealing with so many new challenges and changes due to the Covid 19 crisis. Between juggling the demands of home-schooling, working from home and looking after everybody else’s needs, self-care so often goes to the bottom of our lists. Yet it has never been more important to prioritise well-being and discover ways to nurture our resilience. The field of Positive Psychology (the science of well-being) can offer parents many skills and strategies to help to develop the resilience needed at this time so that they feel strong and equipped to face current challenges. This webinar will present practical ideas and suggestions for self-care and wellness from the field of Positive Psychology. Please see the attached PDF with details of dates, times and booking procedures.
