Lifting up Women in Science!
In this episode we celebrate five different women in conservation science to celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Today in the world, only one in three scientists are women and Currently in Australia, women hold only 15% of STEM-qualified jobs. In this episode we look not only at these women’s scientific achievements but how their visions are helping make this planet a better place for all.
Learn about Jane Goodall, Monica Gagliano, Zena Cumpston, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and Lesley Hughes.
