In this podcast episode we discuss the harsh realities of working part-time in Science and the lack of leadership prospects as a result.  

We discuss how Imposter Syndrome may be holding many women back, and how mentoring and sponsoring women helps to propel them forward, supporting them past this.

Finally we tackle the importance of diversity and equal representation in media, academic and corporate boards, and making conscious decisions to ensure this happens.
