Abstract

For our June event we are delighted to welcome Professor Dame Athene Margaret Donald, whose blog regularly provides such stimulating food for thought on the subject of gender and science/academia, among other topics.

Athene’s career has taken her to some very unexpected places (though not particularly of a geographical kind) and provided a host of opportunities and challenges. Following the award of the 2009 L’Oreal/UNESCO FWIS Laureate she has been given many chances to talk to general audiences, including through mainstream media.

More recently, Athene’s ventures into blogging and social media more generally have also opened up new routes for outreach and/or public engagement. She believes these routes can serve to raise the profile of and for women in science.

Come and join us for a fascinating evening of discussion, networking, tea/coffee and cake.
