Mothers Day
The São Paulo-born Ligia Moreiras Sena, founder of the site "Scientist Who Became Mother", wanted to be an aeronautical engineer. At the age of 15, his professional aspirations included a degree in ITA, Institute Technological of Aeronautics . But at the time, the institute did not accept women.
"This was the first impact that I, as a girl, found on being a scientist," said the biologist, now a PhD in Sciences and Collective Health from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). "Although I did not identify this as I understand it today, ie as a consequence of structural chauvinism and the patriarchy of society, it was already a major impact for me at that time."

With the desire to be a scientist since adolescence, she changed her plans and graduated in Biology from Paulista State University (Unesp). His work in the biological sciences began with research on neuroscience and neuropharmacology, an area where he devoted his productions both to the master's degree in science by the University of São Paulo (USP) and his first doctorate, also in science, by UFSC. But everything changed when Sena became pregnant with Clara, now seven years old.
