Experts for Media: Women scientists in Asia

For International Women's Day, we have prepared a list of women experts who have agreed to share their expertise with journalists. Their expertise include AI, astronomy, medicine and public health, sustainability, women’s rights, and more. 

Asia Research News, the largest science news platform in Asia, is committed to promoting diverse voices in science to international media and research communications. For International Women’s Day 2025, we share our updated Experts for Media: Women in Research list, one of our resources for journalists to find scientists and advocates in Asia. We invite journalists to contact these experts directly, or reach out to us at experts@asiaresearchnews.com if you need help finding a source.

Many are developing new materials and systems for more sustainable engineering, transportation, and production. Some look to the stars to understand the Universe, while others focus on the impact of conflict and pandemics.
