Antarctic Outreach

Antarctica – one of the most remote places on the planet. Few people will ever get the chance to see it. But every year, 100 women who are making an impact in STEMM do get the chance to go as part of project known as Homeward Bound. One of the 100 women chosen for the 2019 Homeward Bound voyage was ACEMS Associate Investigator Dr Patricia Menendez. In this episode, Patricia tells us about her amazing trip and how she wants to use it to inspire more girls and young women to consider a career in maths and stats. The Random Sample is a podcast by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers. In this show, we share stories about mathematics, statistics and the people involved. To learn more about ACEMS, visit https://acems.org.au.
