Real lives in science
Is there only one way to be a scientist? How can broader life experiences impact science? What challenges exist in achieving your goals?
Join us on International Women’s Day for a celebration of the experiences and motivations that can shape a scientist’s career.
"We hope that this can be an opportunity to connect researchers from different disciplines across the College and the wider University, and explore ideas around what it means to be a scientist within the context of a person's broader life experiences."
- Dr Tiffany Harte, Dr Lauren Marshall, Dr Emily Stoakes
