Fiche à imprimer : Women in science : les femmes scientifiques (Première)

Anglais	Français
a scientist / a breakthrough	une scientifique / une découverte majeure
STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths)	les sciences et techniques
to be overlooked	être ignoré, oublié
to take credit for	s'attribuer le mérite de
gender bias	les préjugés de genre

Ada Lovelace a écrit le premier programme informatique (1843). Rosalind Franklin a photographié la structure de l'ADN (1952), mais ce sont des hommes qui ont eu le prix Nobel. Katherine Johnson a calculé les trajectoires des missions de la NASA. Aujourd'hui, les femmes restent minoritaires dans les STEM.

Mise en situation : l'exposé

Teacher : Who discovered the structure of DNA?

Qui a découvert la structure de l'ADN ?

Lily : Watson and Crick got the Nobel Prize, but Rosalind Franklin took the key photo.

Watson et Crick ont eu le prix Nobel, mais c'est Rosalind Franklin qui a pris la photo décisive.

Teacher : Why was she overlooked?

Pourquoi a-t-elle été oubliée ?

Lily : Gender bias. Men often took credit for women's work.

Les préjugés de genre. Les hommes s'attribuaient souvent le mérite du travail des femmes.

Adam : Like Katherine Johnson at NASA. Without her calculations, the astronauts couldn't have come back!

Comme Katherine Johnson à la NASA. Sans ses calculs, les astronautes n'auraient pas pu revenir !

Lily : We need more girls in STEM today.

Il faut plus de filles dans les sciences aujourd'hui.

À retenir
