Rebecca Williams - The Binary of Science & Femininity

Rebecca Williams, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

In this blog Rebecca explores the challenging perceptions and stereotypes that women face in the field of science. She discusses her personal experiences and observations from the Women in Neuroscience UK Awards, highlighting how femininity is often viewed as incompatible with scientific credibility. Rebecca argues against this outdated notion by showcasing successful women who embrace both their scientific expertise and their femininity, advocating for a more inclusive and accepting scientific community where women can express all facets of their identity without judgment.

Rebecca Williams is PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Though originally from ‘up North’ in a small town called Leigh, she did her undergraduate and masters at the University of Oxford before defecting to Cambridge for her doctorate researching Frontotemporal dementia and Apathy. She now spends her days collecting data from wonderful volunteers, and coding. Outside work, she plays board games, and is very crafty. @beccasue99
