Summary: This activity will allow students to meet in person women working in mathematical research and, using logic, to deduce key facts about their biographies. In small groups and taking turns, students will put forward their hypotheses about different aspects of the career paths of several professionals in mathematical research. Based on their answers and explanations, the groups will have to infer which information corresponds to each of them
Moderated and led by: María Ángeles García-Ferrero, researcher at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (ICMAT) and coordinator of the ICMAT Equality Committee.
