ForInternational Women’s Day, scientists Barbara Caputo and Luisa Torsi, part of the #100esperte databank and stars of the cartoon strip “Paperina and scientific selection”,

will tell of their work with robots and polymers, bringing an important message to girls of today and yesterday.

Barbara e Luisa, respectively ordinary professors of Computer Engineering at the Turin Polytechnic and of Chemistry at the University of Bari, together with their alter egos from Paperopolis Barb Quackut e Luoise Torduck, are part of an oration that centres on female competences, the product of synergy between Bracco Foundation and the weekly Topolino. The aim is to suggest role models to the younger generations and so promote female scientific vocations.
