One of the 11 corner stone projects of the International Year of Astronomy (IYA) 2009 declared by the UNESCO and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) is "She's an astronomer". This project represents "Ella es astrónoma" in México.
It is a set of 18 original portraits who have now been shown to thousands of people, toured through Mexico, and been broadcasted on the web. Along with some astronomers' quotes, the portraits show these exceptional women in (or close to) their work environment, but not working. They appear accessible and give a human dimension of the scientist. The idea is to stimulate the young public's interest for science. In a country like Mexico, it's crucial to sensibilize the youth to genders equality. Paradoxically, 40% of the astronomers in Mexico are woman! They are young and less young, morena (dark) or rubia (blond), shy or more extrovert, and come from various states and social contexts. The astronomers who participated to the project represent all these aspects and thus the complex Mexican population spectrum.

One of the 11 corner stone projects of the International Year of Astronomy (IYA) 2009 declared by the UNESCO and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) is "She's an astronomer". This project represents "Ella es astrónoma" in México.
It is a set of 18 original portraits who have now been shown to thousands of people, toured through Mexico, and been broadcasted on the web. Along with some astronomers' quotes, the portraits show these exceptional women in (or close to) their work environment, but not working. They appear accessible and give a human dimension of the scientist. The idea is to stimulate the young public's interest for science. In a country like Mexico, it's crucial to sensibilize the youth to genders equality. Paradoxically, 40% of the astronomers in Mexico are woman! They are young and less young, morena (dark) or rubia (blond), shy or more extrovert, and come from various states and social contexts. The astronomers who participated to the project represent all these aspects and thus the complex Mexican population spectrum.
