[POSDOC-L] New award for women scientists in low output countries

[Esther O. Garcia Mandujano]

A new awards programme has been launched to recognise the talent of
women from the developing world's scientifically weakest countries who
are at the early stages of their science careers. 

The programme was announced this month (20 July), by the Academy of
Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS), the Organization for Women in
Science for the Developing World (OWSD), and the Elsevier Foundation. 

Women scientists from countries in Latin America and the Caribbean,
Sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab world, Central and South Asia, and
South-East Asia and the Pacific, who were awarded PhDs less than ten
years' previously, will be recognised for their 'scientific excellence',
OWSD president, Fang Xin, told SciDev.Net.
