Wolfson College contributes to the 2020 Cambridge Science Festival. Our president, Professor Jane Clarke, hosts a panel discussion on the ambitions, barriers, and successes of women in STEM.

Professor Jane Clarke, FRS, distinguished biophysical chemist and President of Wolfson College, chairs a panel discussing women’s experience in STEM fields. She is joined by four women at various stages of their careers, both from the academy and industry. They will share with us what barriers they faced in their careers, how they successfully overcame them, and how they pave the way for subsequent generations of women in STEM.
