International week of science and peace

Good morning everyone. Today I am standing here to talk to you all about the “International week of science and peace.” The International Week of Science and Peace was first observed during 1986 as part of the observance of the International Year of Peace. In recognition of the value of the annual observance, the General Assembly adopted resolution 43/61 in December 1988, which proclaims the “International Week of Science and Peace”, to take place each year during the week in which 11 November falls. This Week encourages greater academic exchanges on a subject of universal importance while also generating greater awareness of the relationship of science and peace among the general public. We are going to be contributing to this event by enlightening you all on the main topic for this week. “How does science play a role in influencing the society”? We have put together a set of famous scientists that have helped our world grow so much, to where we are today.

Biology:-


      Ø Gregor Mendel – Father of genetics

      Ø Charles Darwin – Law of natural selection

      Ø  Rosalind Franklin – DNA structure

Ø  Jean-Baptiste Lamarck – Father of evolution

Ø  Erich von Tschermak – Genetic Mutation

Chemistry:-

Ø  Antoine Lavoisier – Father of Chemistry

Ø  John Dalton - Dalton’s Atomic Theory

Ø  Marie Curie – Radioactivity

All of these scientists are very important people we value in history because of these important discoveries that have brought us here today. It is for this reason that we must always remember to value them for what they have done for us. Thank you.

Women's Day

  Women's Day International Women's Day is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 to commemorate the cultural, political, and economic achievements of women. It is also a focal point in the women's rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence against women. International Women’s Day originated from labor movements in North America and Europe during the early 20th century.  International Women's Day is commemorated in a variety of ways worldwide; it is a public holiday in several countries, and observed socially or locally in others. The UN observes the holiday in connection with a particular issue, campaign, or theme in women's rights.
