In this episode, our host, Mariana Carvalho, sits down with Dr. Sue Black, an educator, author, advocate for women in technology, and well-known activist widely recognized for her work of saving Bletchley Park (the place where British codebreakers, such as Alan Turing, worked during World War II.)
In this episode, you will learn more about Dr. Sue’s early love for mathematics and how that led to her career in technology.
