Description
Since 2015, February 11th commemorates the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, as set up by the United Nations. Such vindication is fully supported by the Spanish Astronomical community, represented by the Spanish Astronomical Society (SEA) and, particularly, by its Woman and Astronomy Unit (Comisión Mujer y Astronomía, CMyA). Chat with a woman astronomer was organised by CMyA on February 7th, 2018 with the aim at approaching the role of women in Astronomical research to the general public. During almost the full day, women astronomers were constantly available through an online platform to chat about their job as professional astronomers or their experience as women working in science.
