SIM Ep 208 IWD2019 #4: Women in science

British Science Week is about to kick off, so to celebrate, the fourth in our IWD2019 series is a round table about women in science. We got together with the Royal Society of Chemistry to talk hidden heroines, the leaky pipeline, mentoring, and the joy of science with Dr Sohini Kar-Narayan, Dr Gemma-Louise Davies, Dr Claire Murray and Pip Matthews, Inclusion and Diversity Programme Officer for the Royal Society of Chemistry. Have at it! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
