I belong here Dr Noelia D Falcon

Hello friends, welcome to this new episode, or shall I say, masterpiece! It was an honour to interview Dr Asma Bashir today. Dr Asma Bashir completed her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, after having completed her BA in Psychology at Boston University. As founder and host of Her Royal Science – a podcast created to feature individuals from minoritised groups in STEM – she creates audio and written content delving into the most cutting-edge STEM research in an accessible manner, with the simultaneous goal of highlighting the individuals behind the research.

Hi friends, today is a very important day for us, and we wanted to celebrate it with all the guests that have been in the podcast so far. They are all the inspiration we need, so, why not joining us in this episode listening to their words of wisdom for future generations? Thanks from the bottom of our hearts to each of these women. They are the perfect example of why science needs women, and why women belong to the best opportunities. We freaking belong here!

Hi friends, welcome to this new episode. I have had the pleasure to interview one of my besties, Miss Charlie Bingham! Charlie is at the beginning of her journey and is a masters student, currently studying journalism with a focus on her love for wildlife and conservation. Charlie has had a varied journey so far, coming from an Archaeology degree into conservation but is hoping to showcase how a varied skill set can be beneficial in the workplace. Charlie is passionate about empowering women and parents in STEMM, as a single mother to two boys she has seen first hand the struggles of being a woman and parent in academia and now in the workplace. Charlie's goal is to become a wildlife broadcaster and author and hopes to inspire others in a similar position to reach for their dreams. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did, and you laugh with us!
