Episode 1
In this first episode, AcadMathSci’s Executive Director Christie Marr interviews the Gold, Silver and Bronze medallists of the STEM for Britain awards, early career mathematical scientists Arkady Wey (Oxford), Jenny Power (Bath) and Chris Hickey (Arup).
The three winners speak about the competition and their experience of showcasing their work to MPs. They discuss the importance of having decision-makers interested in mathematical sciences research, the benefits of knowledge exchange, and the importance of maths communication.
It was really lovely to see how engaged all the politicians were, and how interested they were in our work.
