Projecting Science
The World needs Science, Science needs women.
There is no doubt about the contribution made by women to the development of Science. However, since the creation of the Nobel Prize, less than 3 % of awards have been awarded to women (web). We need to visualize the role of female scientists.
Let's read the voice of Marie Curie, one of the greatest scientists ever:
"I am among those who think that Science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale. We should not allow it to be believed that all scientific progress can be reduced to mechanisms, machines, gearings, even though such machinery has its own beauty"
Marie Curie (7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934)
We open the door of this new project hoping that all of you will find the beauty of Science. Science to understand the world, to doubt, to make decisions, to learn from each other, to improve our life and planet.

To decide the degree of certainty your arguments may be based on:
Authority: it is certain because some reliable person or institution have claimed it.
Model: it is certain because it can be related to a similar situation.
Data: it is certain because there are numerical results or statistics that evidence it.
Induction: It is certain because it keeps happening or it is common.
