Power List Scientists: Jocelyn Bell Burnell; Ann Dowling; Wendy Hall
A special edition of Woman's Hour bringing together some of the top women in science. Jane Garvey speaks to WH power-listers Jocelyn Bell Burnell, Ann Dowling and Wendy Hall.
We often hear about the shortage of women working in science, technology and engineering. But there are women at the very top of their field and ten per cent of the women on the Power List are working in science.
Jane is joined by three of the leading women in science and Power Listers all - the astrophysicist, Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell; engineer, Professor Dame Ann Dowling; and, pioneering developer of web science, Professor Dame Wendy Hall. They'll be talking about their lives and work - and what can be done to inspire and encourage more women to go into science and pursue a career.
We also hear from graduate students at Newnham College, Cambridge about their first taste of research and from particle physicist Dr Claire Timlin about her early career experiences, including the time she spent at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Presenter: Jane Garvey
Producer: Ruth Watts.
