'Young Academy' Medal, for Irene Valenzuela Agüí

'Young Academy' Medal, for Irene Valenzuela Agüí

In her inaugural speech, she discusses stereotypes in science, which can be very damaging and are a frequent reason why women abandon scientific careers.

Currently, Valenzuela is an IFT researcher (UAM-CSIC), a member of the theoretical division at CERN, and the recipient of the Royal Spanish Society of Physics' Young Researcher Award for Theoretical Physics.

Quantum gravity, string theory, and their implications for particle physics and cosmology are the focus of her research.
