Ar Ddiwrnod Rhyngwladol y Menywod, Dydd Mawrth 8 Mawrth, roeddwn yn falch o gael lansio’r adroddiad annibynnol, y bu mawr ddisgwyl amdano, ar fenywod mewn gwyddoniaeth ‒ Menywod Dawnus ar gyfer Cymru Lwyddiannus. Mae’n amlinellu casgliadau ac argymhellion gweithgor hynod ddawnus a brwdfrydig, a fu’n gweithio o dan arweiniad medrus dwy o’r academyddion uchaf eu statws sydd gennym yma yng Nghymru ‒ yr Athro Karen Holford, sy’n Ddirprwy Is-ganghellor ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, a’r Athro Hilary Lappin-Scott, sy’n Ddirprwy Is-ganghellor ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe.
On International Women’s Day, Tuesday 8 March, I was pleased to launch the much-awaited independent report on women in science – Talented Women for a Successful Wales. It represents the conclusions and recommendations of a highly talented and motivated working group, ably led by two of our most senior female academics here in Wales – Professors Karen Holford and Hilary Lappin-Scott, both of whom are Pro- Vice-Chancellors at their respective universities of Cardiff and Swansea.
