Acknowledgment of Women in Science

The contributions of women in scientific fields, particularly in oncology, are often overlooked, with Rosalind Franklin's role in the discovery of DNA exemplifying this trend. Despite past challenges, today's women scientists are breaking barriers and making significant impacts in cancer research. Trailblazers such as Dr. Karuna Ganesh and Dr. Chrysanthemus Brown are recognized for their groundbreaking work in understanding colorectal cancer and immune regulation, respectively. These scientists emphasize the importance of acknowledgment, mentorship, and support to advance the representation and achievements of women in science.
