Helping girls to fall in love with science

Inspiring and encourging girls to pursue a career in science continues to  be a challenge and not always the first option considered by parents and educators. We are set forth into the 21st century, but prejudices and second thoughts when it comes to a career in science - couple of steps up to the professional ladder than teaching sciences in primary school - deter many girls to follow a career they dream about.
Designed as a journal, I Love Science aims to offer the basis for a smooth take off in the world of science. Presented in a graphic format, it has a short introduction into scientific methodology and practices, details about HTML, equations and the periodic table, but also inspiring quotes by women scientists from different domains, from mathematics to chemistry or astronomy, some of them Nobel Prize winners.
Significant space is left for observations and remarks that the scientist-in-the-making is supposed to make during the field research.
The graphic format is colourful and easy to read, but personally, I would have chose a different lettering style.
