Dear Slowly Team,
Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science — February 11. I would like to take a moment to celebrate this meaningful day and express my gratitude for creating such a wonderful platform.
Empowering women and girls in science and technology is truly invaluable. Perhaps next year, you could consider creating a special stamp to honor this important day? It would mean a lot to us.
Thank you for your continuous efforts and creativity.
Warm regards
