Fighting inequality of opportunity by breaking stereotypes 9 December 2021 The 'Sisters in Science' Mimi den Uijl, Lotte Schreuders and Noor Abdulhussein have been awarded the Diversity Initiative Award 2021 by the Dutch Research Council NWO. The three chemists receive a sum of 50,000 euros for their initiative that aims to break stereotypes and show that everyone can be a scientist. The three young women started Sisters in Science NL in early 2021 as an Instagram account, posting experiences from their daily life in science. They want to inspire others to pursue a scientific career by being a role model under the motto 'If you can't see it, you can't be it' . Over the past year, they have received a lot of media attention and engaged in collaborations with parties such as the Royal Netherlands Chemical Society KNCV, and the Royal Association of the Dutch Chemical Industry VNCI.
