Careers in STEMM
During Science Week, we have partnered with TodayFM presenter Alison Curtis to examine the biases that can prevent women from pursuing a career in Science, Technology Engineering, Maths or Medicine (STEMM).
As part of our career focus, Alison spoke to three inspirational women in STEMM.
