This teaching resource facilitates the integration of female limnologists into teaching programs. For each topic, we provide a short biography of top female researchers in the field, a list of their most relevant publications and some studies led
​by them that illustrate key concepts on limnology, ecology or geosciences. Or, if you prefer, ​you can go to ​the list of all female researchers!

​All resources are free of charge and ready to use. Download the slides of female scientists' research and start making your lessons more inclusive!
