What if you could change things? Break barriers, earn a PhD, be more confident? The good news is, you can. Today we're joined by Researcher Claire Brown (she/her) from The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change, who looks closely at social housing being built in the UK, using climate scenarios to see how our infrastructure might perform in 2050 or even 2080. Claire is also co-chair of the IEMA North West Steering Group, a mum of two, and brings her PhD to an impressive resume built on over 15 years industry experience.
Also a working on her PhD after dipping her toe into industry waters at Cambridge Business Park, we are lucky to have Elle Franks (she/her). Elle's research area is all about improving our telescopes and radio signals from space. Alongside her busy schedule studying and teaching, Elle is an advocate for authentic LGBTQI+ representation and role models, recently filming for the BBC debunking the 'dangers' of EMF blockers.
Joining our hosts Jasmine Luby Barrow (she/her) and Alice Stevens (she/her), we talk about everything from 'being a little nosey' to returning to education as a mature student. Site-work, empowerment, finding the right fit on your journey... expect golden advice from the best.
So, put your headphones on, grab a coffee and get comfy as we share stories, perspectives, and have a good old laugh while we're at it. You thought you didn’t have sisters to turn to for advice? Oh, yes you do.
