  female scientists in North America, we know they are out there, they 
 are brilliant and hard-working, but their exposure seems to be lower t
 han their male colleagues;” said Bridges to Italy Founder Bianca Del
 lepiane. “Structuring the Premio Award nomination as a combination o
 f the vote from expert judges and the popular online vote is a strateg
 y to give these women scientists the highest level of visibility by wi
 dening the appeal and level of excitement of an otherwise <<technical 
 set of subjects>>, even though most Bridges to Italy members belong to
  the scientific/technology world anyway.\"\n\nAbout Bridges to Italy\n
