Do you look like this? Didn't think so!! We all, however, know the
stereotypes: Scientists have mad hair, wear white coats and produce bubbling potions; Engineers have oil
under their finger nails, carry a spanner and fix things; Technologists are thin and nerdy and can only interact with computers. And
they are all white men.Many scientists, engineers and technologists don't, of course, fit these descriptions!! As part of National Science Week, Cambridge Science Festival very kindly sponsored us to produce a photodisplay of Women in SET. Our posters show women from different SET disciplines and from all different career stages but they have one thing in common: an excitement and passion for SET. Click on the photographs and read our stories.
We hope that our photographs and stories help breakdown stereotypes and encourage more women and young girls consider a career in SET. We'd love more of you to be part of this. If you'd like to contribute and help make this an even bigger and better resource, please contact us.
