In this special episode to mark Women In STEM Day on Sunday 11 February we bring you two unique stories from one of our leading scientists, Professor Chloe James and one of our STEM graduates Paz Aranega-Bou, who is now working at the UK Health Security Agency.Chloe talks through her experience as an academic in microbiology, how the experience for a woman in STEM differs in different countries and what more can be done to encourage young women and girls to pursue a career in STEM subjects.Next, former Erasmus student and PhD graduate Paz chats through her experience of studying from Salford after coming from Spain, the integral work she did during the COVID-19 pandemic and what her advice would be for current microbiology students ahead of entering the industry.Talking Salford is an official podcast from The University of Salford.All episodes are available on all podcasting platforms with the video version available to watch on YouTube.CREDITSProduced by Samuel WoodDirected by Elizabeth TheakerAudio producer – Akelia HewittFilmed by Adam CowellPodcast edit by Loughlan CampbellFilm edit by Tom WaltersSound Assistant and Camera Operator – Femi OlayiwolaHosted by Loughlan Campbell Hosted on Acast.
