Women in Science is a series of four documentaries about four female scientists:
a neuroscientist Vera Iefremova, who studies brain development disorders to help children with epilepsy;
a mathematician Kateryna Terletska, who studies the internal waves of the ocean. She heads the section at the largest European geophysical conference in Vienna;
a zoologist Maryna Skvyria, who studies large predators such as wolves and bears and co-funded the White Rock bear shelter;
a marine biologist Oksana Savenko, a researcher at the National Antarctic Scientific Centre of Ukraine and the first woman in 20 years to go on
a winter expedition to the Vernadsky Research Base in the Antarctic.
And then there is Masha, a Ukrainian schoolgirl who acts as a guide and walks us through each story. Masha is 15 years old. She loves science and is in the process of choosing her future career. She talks to our heroines and asks them about their work and the challenges they had to overcome as women in science.
The documentaries are made in the form of interviews, and each question allows the viewers to look deeper into the exciting world of scientific research. And some of the scenes were even filmed in the MacPaw Space!
