Fantastic talk about why we need more women in science and the barriers facing them by @athenedonald.bsky.social at the Manchester Lit and Phil last night 🙌🏽

Don’t be a bystander! We all have biases and this is an issue that everyone has a responsibility to help fix and make science more inclusive 💪🏽
