STEM Facts: In a room of 25 engineers only 3 will be women

There are lots of facts around women in STEM but it’s very rare that you find many of the more interesting ones all in one place and in such a comprehensive way. I’ve been doing a fair bit of research to find the facts and it appears that I’m not the only one. Take a [...]

Book Review: The Manga Guide To The Universe

The latest “The Manga Guide To..” series brings us the universe. This is the second book from the series I have reviewed and I was looking forward to how this will encompass the vastness of the universe as a topic. As always, the story unfolds in manga form while teaching the reader all the questions [...]

Book Review: Automatic Lover

Not so long ago I got sent Automatic Lover by it’s author Ariadne Tampion. She called it a steamy love story for geeks. Now one thing I will say before I go any further, this is not a book for young children. Personally I’d give it an over 16 age limit. The story line is [...]

First Female President of the RSC & she’s Scottish!

Back when I was still at university (a while ago now) I got invited to a Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) black tie event in London at the National Gallery as a friend of a scientist. The event was interesting but one thing that did strike me there was that there weren’t may female scientists [...]
