In this episode, to mark International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2026, we speak to alumna Dr Yasmin Meeda (PhD in Biological Sciences, 2025) who works as a Research Fellow in Metabolic Engineering and Synthetic Biology at Cranfield University, and science communicator.

We discuss how she turns complex science topics into bite-sized social media moments, what her job actually involves, and some of the ways we can encourage and assist women and girls to work in this sphere.
