Η Wanda reports to 10: 13:

I believe science is for everyone. It belongs to the world, and it must be available to everyone, because by nature we are all explorers. I think that if we limit people with disabilities from taking part in science, we will break our ties to history and society. I dream of a scientific field with equal opportunities, where people encourage respect and respect each other, where people exchange strategies and discover together. If we accept people with disabilities in the field of science, there will be an explosion, a titanic flare of knowledge. I'm sure.
