Descripción

.Curiosity is inherent in human nature, so understanding ecosystems from the atoms and cells of our bodies to the vast mystery of the universe could be considered an expression of our ability to think, discover, question, analyze, and conclude. The best science requires people from different fields, perspectives, and values, to address different challenges to the well-being of humanity based on our worldviews. In this sense, it is necessary to attract the best talent from different origins to enrich the generation of knowledge. But first, we need to foster the scientific vocations of a diverse group of people, which is possible if we make the presence of diverse and inclusive models more visible in the daily life of science. This contribution will discuss and review recent studies related to the importance of representation in science and social media, contrasting women in science and the live-action The Little Mermaid played by an African-American actress and singer.
