The winners will be honored at a virtual event on Nov. 23 alongside SBQ’s annual meeting. The awards are sponsored by C&EN and CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, with support from SBQ and ACS (ACS publishes C&EN). Their aim is to promote gender equality in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in Brazil and to advance understanding of the impact of diversity on scientific research and the field of chemistry. Nominations for the 2022 awards will open in July.
