Please note: this episode is pending reapproval on Spotify
We’re so excited to be joined by Shiksha Teeluck for a thoughtful and energising conversation about Women in STEM. This week's episode is packed with practical insight and encouragement for anyone navigating STEM, whether you're just starting out, exploring your options, or already well established in the field.
In our discussion, Shiksha shares her perspective on topics including:
- Inspiring more young women to pursue STEM pathways
- Making STEM subjects more accessible
- Finding your place in academia, the workplace and male-dominated environments without shrinking yourself
- The value of outreach programmes in widening participation, particularly 'The Girls Into Physics Summer School'
- Self-empowerment, resilience and backing yourself in competitive spaces
