Meet the Women of Catalysis Petra E. de Jongh,[a] Deryn E. Fogg,[b] Li-ZhuWu,[c] and Sandra Gonzµlez-Gallardo*[d]

ChemCatChem celebrates the achievements of female-ledre- catalysis community. Women of Catalysis offers aresource to search groups in the field of catalysis. With this initiative, we aid in improving the representation of female scientific talent seek to highlight the breadth and depth of the best research on invited speaker lists, conference and editorial boards, and developed by women,and to increase its visibility in the wider as leaders in research consortia.
