Stéphanie Coté talks about women in astronomy.

Stéphanie Coté talks about women in astronomy.At this time, only about 15% of astronomers in Canada are women, but that’s changing because we know that about 25% of the students in physics and astronomy at university are women. So we hope that one day there will be more. For a long time, I was the only woman at my institute, but I see more starting to come in now, so it’s encouraging. It depends a lot on the country: in countries like France and Spain, about 50% of the astronomers are women.
