UM women scientists exhibit their work in Chicago
From April 23 to May 23, portraits of female scientists from UM will be on display at the Alliance Française in Chicago. Created by photographer Marie-Hélène Le Ny, the traveling exhibition "Infinités Plurielles" (Plural Infinities) features 140 female scientists, including Sandrine Bardet, Francesca Casoni, Isabelle Parrot, and Ana Palacios from the University of Montpellier.
In her artistic approach, Marie-Hélène Le Ny gives a voice to female researchers, professors, and engineers to reflect on the place of women in predominantly male-dominated scientific professions. Through these portraits and testimonials, the artist seeks to introduce the public to the scientific world, promote the exchange of ideas, and stimulate creativity.
Women from Montpellier share their passion
Among more than 140 portraits, Sandrine Bardet, Francesca Casoni, and Isabelle Parrot each talk about their work at the University of Montpellier. Experts in fields as diverse as management sciences, medicinal chemistry, and wood mechanics, all three share a passion for science and innovation, as well as a desire to pass on their knowledge.
