💉 #sciencepodcast #stempodcast #womeninstem

Welcome to Episode 2 of OVERLOOKED! This series is all about diving into the forgotten side of his-tory , the women in STEM who made massive contributions but didn’t get the credit they deserved! 🥲This week, we’re talking about one of the most iconic scientists of the 20th century: Rosalind Franklin!!

🧬 You’ve probably heard her name in passing, maybe in the context of DNA ...BUT do you actually know the full story? Rosalind Franklin was the woman behind the X-ray image that helped crack the structure of DNA… but while Watson and Crick got the Nobel, she got left out. Her work was essential, her story is wild, and the way she was treated? Let’s just say we’ve got OPINIONS...

😳 And of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without some fresh laboraTEAAAA. This week, we’ve got a listener who’s feeling like they might be too dumb for their degree. They’re doing bioinformatics but struggling with maths and chem, and to make it worse, their friends are laughing at them for it?! Let’s talk about imposter syndrome and why the problem isn’t you, it’s the system.
