In honor of International Women's Day 2026, we celebrate the extraordinary women of the S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences.

To celebrate this special day, we created a short video featuring women in various roles at the institute—PhD scholars, postdoctoral researchers, professors, administrative staff, and the Director—who share their experiences, journeys, and reflections.

Their stories remind us that science flourishes when diverse perspectives and talents converge. Today, we recognize and appreciate the contributions of the women who strengthen our research community every day.

Happy International Women’s Day to all the inspiring women in science and beyond!
