International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

This year, the theme is #balanceforbetter.

Last year over 46% of our team was female, this year we have increased our staff levels and the gender balance ratio has jumped to 50%, demonstrating our commitment to #balanceforbetter. 

Building on the success of last years profile pieces, we asked 6 of the women who joined the centre since last year to tell us their stories.

This combination of extremely diverse, strong women who are excelling in their respective fields highlights some career paths that are available to anyone who is interested in working in STEM.
