#InternationalWomenInScienceDay
Feb, 11. Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🎆🌠🚀

1⃣ Women’s equality and empowerment is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals set out in the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Image
2⃣Throughout the EU🇪🇺, while women are better represented at university level – more than 25 % of graduates– as careers progress, the proportion of women in the information science technology (IST) and digital workforce drops to just 13 %.
ec.europa.eu/research/infoc…
3⃣UNESCO's fact sheet presents global and regional profiles, pinpointing where women thrive in this sector
and where they are under-represented.

4⃣An important target is to fight against the stereotype that boys have innate disposition and abilities in STEM, while girls are suitable for other fields.

#GreekWomenInScience
5⃣Since antiquity the Greek women tried to find their way to scientific knowledge, mathematics, philosophy, medicine. Difficult task back then, and many had to work in the shadow of men.
#GreekWomenInSTEM
6⃣In the 21st century more and more Greek women study STEM and cooperate with each other. An example is the initiative 'Greek women in STEM'. Women promote their work and inspire other women to pursue careers in science.
7⃣"To all girls and women who dream of doing science, do not feel weak, do not feel undervalued, do not feel alone because you are not".

Work hard and get inspired by famous scientists like Mary Anning, Marie Curie and Marie Tharp.

8⃣I dedicate the graph "women of the periodic table" to my daughter♥️, chemist in a European research institute. I hope that some day she will return to Greece, the country that equipped her with valuable knowledge and experience.

#HouthisTerroristGroup
1⃣The Houthis terrorists attack on the education sector. Their ideology is not accepted by the young Yemenis, and the Houthis target schools and universities to change the identity of the curriculums and replace them with their sectarian ideology and goals.
2⃣In addition the links between the Houthis and the #Hezbollah in Lebanon are striking. Hezbollah supports the Houthis in the media platforms and the Houthis divert the humanitarian aid they get for the people of Yemen to Hezbollah.
3⃣The #UN welcomed Bidens' decision, with the excuse that it will put an end in the humanitarian crisis. But how can UN persuade us for its good intentions, when a Hezbollah officer who works for the UN is in the discussions for the crisis in Yemen?

Engin Altay of the🇹🇷 Kemalist party #CHP:"Mr. Erdogan, if you make concessions in the EastMed, Cyprus, the Aegean, Syria and even in Libya, we will be behind you."
Is this considered a social-democratic party, member of @progressive_all, and the Socialist international org. along
with @tokinima whose president is @GPapandreou? Moreover both the above org's are Associated to @PES_PSE (Party of European Socialists), who in turn is partner of @TheProgressives Socialists &Democrats group of the 🇪🇺 parliament.
@EvaKaili & @androulakisnick you embrace in your EU group, and in the socialist org's @tokinima participates, a member that has nothing to do with democracy and socialism. It is "more more fascist, expansionist and warmongering than AKP", itself @4rj1n

Cinovac vaccine 💉goes to Turkey via Xinjiang?

1⃣Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca announced that the arrival of Sinovac had been delayed after a resurgence in cases of the virus in Beijing and that the delivery had been put back by “a day or two”.
2⃣The agreement between Turkey and China for the Cinovac vaccine has raised many questions as expressed by Serdar Savaş, former program director of (WHO) Europe, and concern the cost, the delay, the trials and the fast-track approval of the vaccine
3⃣Yet, the delay issue may have a darker side. For 🇨🇳 to dispatch the vaccine to 🇹🇷, the spokesperson for the Uyghur World Congress, Dilxat Raxit, said that 🇹🇷 agreed to deport members of the Uighurs who fled China and don't have Turkish citizenship yet

1⃣ 🔥🇮🇳 - 🇹🇷 🔥

An effort to translate in English Andreas' Mountzouroulias' very important article on 🇮🇳 - 🇹🇷 tentative relations over Kashmir:

"India is furious with the actions of Turkish NGOs in Kashmir and are probably preparing retaliation"
2⃣ Many Islamist humanitarian orgs based in 🇹🇷, and Turkish NGOs as well, proceed to the warfare tactic of "blitzkrieg" in Jammu & Kashmir. The Turkish president's stance against 🇮🇳 on Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) is known, but now he is stepping up his efforts to influence the issue.
3⃣One of the most powerful "charity" NGOs with global presence based in 🇹🇷, the IDSB, is said to be involved in actions against 🇮🇳 .
An Indian security official said:
Turkey, through charity in Kashmir, has extended its support to the separatist elements
