Trailblazers in lab coats: Meet the Pacific women changing lives through science

from Sistas, Let's Talk · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

While there’s no shortage of Pacific women in sport, the arts and business to look up to, what about women in science? Globally, women make up less than a third of the STEM workforce, and Pacific women are even more underrepresented. Yet many are leading groundbreaking research that’s improving the health and wellbeing of their communities. In this episode of Sistas Let’s Talk, Natasha Meten speaks with three inspiring Pacific scientists who are creating real change: Professor Tu’uhevaha Kaitu’u-Lino from the University of Melbourne PhD candidate Liana Sabetian from the University of Auckland Samoan scientist Amy Maslen Miller Together, they share their journeys, their research and how science is strengthening the future of Pacific communities. Listen to the full episode on ABC Radio Australia.
