Join the dialogue inspired by “Guardians of the Glaciers.”About this EventFebruary 11: International Day of Women and Girls in ScienceOn this day, proclaimed by UNESCO, we celebrate the vital role of women and girls in advancing science and shaping solutions to global challenges. This year, the focus is on one of the most urgent issues of our time: the rapid melting of glaciers and its profound impact on water systems, migration patterns, cultural heritage, and the future of life on Earth.As part of the exhibition Guardians of the Glaciers by Peruvian photographer Ángela Ponce—centered on the Quelccaya and Nevado Ausangate glaciers and their significance for Quechua-speaking communities in Peru—this program situates the loss of tropical glaciers within a global context, from the Andes to the Arctic and Antarctica.The event brings together leading women in science and policy: Dr. Robin Bell, glaciologist at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory; Michelle Muschett, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean; Allison Caine, cultural anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin, whose research explores health and well-being in rural contexts; and Janet Babin, award-winning journalist specializing in climate and sustainability.Through this interdisciplinary dialogue, we aim to highlight women’s contributions to science and decision-making as we confront the climate crisis and its cascading effects on communities and ecosystems worldwide.---This event will be in English with simultaneous interpretation into Spanish.* Photo credit: Guardians of Glaciers, Ángela Ponce ©---11 de febrero: Día Internacional de la Mujer y la Niña en la CienciaEn esta fecha proclamada por la UNESCO celebramos el papel esencial de las mujeres y las niñas en el avance de la ciencia y en la búsqueda de soluciones a los grandes desafíos globales. Este año, el foco está en uno de los problemas más urgentes: el acelerado deshielo de los glaciares y su impacto profundo en los sistemas hídricos, los patrones migratorios, el patrimonio cultural y, en última instancia, el futuro de la vida en la Tierra.En el marco de la exposición Guardianes de los glaciares de la fotógrafa peruana Ángela Ponce —centrada en los glaciares Quelccaya y Nevado Ausangate y su importancia para las comunidades quechua hablantes del Perú— este programa sitúa la pérdida de glaciares tropicales dentro de un contexto global más amplio, que abarca desde los Andes hasta el Ártico y la Antártida.El encuentro reunirá a destacadas mujeres en ciencia y políticas climáticas: la glacióloga Dra. Robin Bell (Columbia University, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory), referente mundial en estudios polares; Michelle Muschett, subsecretaria general de la ONU y directora regional para América Latina y el Caribe (PNUD), experta en políticas públicas y desarrollo sostenible; la antropóloga Allison Caine (Universidad de Wisconsin), cuya investigación explora salud, envejecimiento y bienestar en comunidades rurales; y la periodista Janet Babin, reconocida por su cobertura sobre economía, cambio climático y sostenibilidad.Este diálogo interdisciplinario busca visibilizar las contribuciones de las mujeres en la ciencia y en la toma de decisiones frente a uno de los mayores retos de nuestro tiempo: la crisis climática y sus efectos en comunidades y ecosistemas de todo el planeta.----Esta actividad se desarrollará en inglés, con interpretación simultánea al españolFoto: Guardianes de los glaciares, por Ángela Ponce © - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/international-day-of-women-and-girls-in-science/100001977518507088 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, exhibitions - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Instituto Cervantes - Nueva York - **lat**: 40.75499619999999 - **long**: -73.97043459999999 - **full address**: Instituto Cervantes - Nueva York, 211-215 East 49th Street, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: International Day of Women and Girls in Science - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/66a4783961e4dcb1ddccd479eab284bcd402a5eea72d5bc246fc4e2fa4f41926-rimg-w1200-h800-dcbdbec0-gmir.jpg?v=1765419441 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is International Day of Women and Girls in Science being held? - **A:** International Day of Women and Girls in Science takes place on Wed, 11 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 11 Feb, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Instituto Cervantes - Nueva York, 211-215 East 49th Street, New York, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing International Day of Women and Girls in Science? - **A:** International Day of Women and Girls in Science is organized by Instituto Cervantes New York. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
