Women In Science
Hall Of Fame
The Department of State initiated a Women in Science Hall of Fame in 2010 to honor outstanding female scientists throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
New hall of fame members are selected annually for their professional accomplishments,
aiming to develop a strong network of professional women scientists across the region.
These role models also motivate and inspire girls to study science and pursue scientific careers.
