Women scientists are hogging limelight at the moment. To be true it is very rare in India when women scientists are mentioned in the media. Mostly they remain on the margins like in almost every other sector.

But thankfully they are in news. Had it not been for their stellar performance they would have still not got any mention in the male dominated world of science in the country.
