World Space Week celebrates women pursing careers in space
PARIS -- This year's World Space Week is celebrating women in space.Pioneer Loredana Bessone, who joined the European Space Agency in 1990, stressed the importance of encouraging young girls to enter the field of science which is still a male-dominated sphere.“I don't think you can encourage young women to pursue this career. You'll have to start when they are kids, you'll have to allow kids girls to do things that are interesting for them.“You need to make sure that they are having all the opportunities when they are young because once they are 25, they cannot choose anymore to be just open to any career. They have already chosen it.“They need to be able to do it much earlier. So I think the only way to encourage women is to start by telling them that they can do...

EMA recommends booster vaccination against coronavirus
