Ep 03: 'Encouraging STEM pathways' with Katie King

In this episode Nicola talks to Katie King about the key issues relating to inspiring young people, particularly girls, onto STEM pathways. They also chat about Katie's work with NASA and her application to become the next female astronaut, her current PhD work into cancer treatment, and her experiences as a secondary school maths and science teacher. And if that isn't enough reason to listen, Katie has also worked with her mum, Carol Vorderman, on Pearson’s The Maths Factor. It is definitely not an episode that you want to miss!
