This webinar is part of the Women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) series of lectures, talks and panels organised jointly by the Lit and Phil, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Women’s Engineering Society, Palace of Science, the Institute of Physics, and the Institution of Civil Engineers. The aim of these events is to celebrate the amazing work done by women in the North East in their area of STEM. This event is hosted by IChemE Tyneside.
