ASE 2022 Annual Conference Online

Despite women leading the development of the Moderna, Astra Zeneca and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines, only half of UK adults can name a woman scientist. That’s not entirely surprising given the National Curriculum for GCSE science doesn’t include a single woman’s name. Jess will talk about how who we talk about matters and how we can make our science classrooms more inclusive spaces. She’ll also discuss her efforts to increase visibility of scientists from historically marginalised groups on Wikipedia, her research in materials, science and nanotechnology, and her new picture book ‘Nano, the Spectacular Science of the Very (Very) Small.
