[Winer, Brian]

  Dear all,

  Today, Feb 11th, is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!  This is a United Nations recognized day and information on several UN websites can be found here:

    I would also encourage you to read a joint message from the Executive Director of UN Women and Director-General of UNESCO.  It can be found here:

This is a good day to pause and reminder ourselves of the importance and value of making our field accessible to all.
