Women in High Pressure (WUHP) is a growing group of scientists who are dedicated to fostering connections and representations for female (and other gender minority) scientists in the field of high pressure. WUHP works towards creating a more inclusive and supportive community for women in high-pressure research. The mission of WUHP is to unite and empower individuals in a domain that historically does not reflect our diverse perspectives.
Iranian women are leading a cultural renaissance with massive support from the university students with the rallying cry "Woman, Life, Freedom". University campuses have been at the center of the waves of protest sweeping through Iran, and the academic community of Iran has suffered enormous damage. An increasing number of Iranian students and faculty, who are among the brightest minds of Iran, have been dismissed or suspended and their academic careers damaged. University campuses have a universal standing as places for fostering the free exchange of ideas, including peaceful protests.
