Please Help FSC to Celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science

At FSC we want to mark the UN’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science on 11^th February by sharing the stories of some of our female members of staff.  Some of you have worked with us for almost your entire careers, others are new in the door, but many share a love of science and a passion for outdoor learning.

There are still significant barriers to getting more women and girls into science so FSC would like to debunk some of the myths by sharing stories from our own staff on social media throughout the day.

If we get inundated with great stories and can’t use them all on the 11^th don’t worry. It’s really useful to have an up to date bank of quotes and STEM stories to tell. So if you would like to play a part in celebrating a life in science, please send the following information to [email protected]
