Parkwalk is delighted to celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2023. This year we focus on the endless opportunities STEM opens for women and girls, around the globe.
Parkwalk’s own Dr Cassie Doherty, Dr Karolina Zapadka and Claire Pardo share their thoughts on how STEM subjects have helped to shape their careers, in our latest video. STEM subjects create so many opportunities for millions of women and girls around the world. From learning transferable skills to helping innovation, STEM subjects drive the development of analytical thinking, evaluative thought and so much more. Studying a STEM subject at university, does not mean you are limited to finding a career in science, it’s the opposite; STEM subject only broaden your horizons.
