The International Centre for Theoretical Physics has awarded Carolina Araujo , a researcher at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the 2020 Ramanujan Prize for Young Mathematicians from Developing Countries.
Standing for Gender Equality in Science in times of Covid-19 is a statement from the Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science (SCGES) calling for all individuals and institutions engaged in science to join forces in supporting women colleagues whose research careers are jeopardized by the pandemic.
May 12 was chosen for the Celebration of Women in Mathematics because it is the birthdate of Maryam Mirzakhani. The initiative was proposed by the Women's Committee of the Iranian Mathematical Society and voted by a vast majority of attendees to (WM)², the World Meeting for Women on Mathematics on last July 31 in Rio.
Several suggestions for local activities around May 12 are listed here.Please feel free to organize one and mention it on May 12 website.
The CWM 2020 call for Networks, Schools and Workshops received 35 applications of which CWM decided to support 8.

Marithania Silvero Casanova was not yet born when Louis Kauffman stated in 1983 the conjecture that established that two particular families of knots were equivalent. Silvero, born in Huelva in 1989, refuted the conjecture in 2015. Her finding has been recognized with the Vicent Caselles research prize, awarded by the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society and the BBVA Foundation.
