About this episode

🌿 We’re BACK with the seventh episode of… OVERLOOKED - this series we are looking on the other side of HIS-tory at some of the most iconic women in stem. This was a highly requested theme so we can’t wait for you to listen! This week we are talking all about a woman who used a 1600 year old recipe to cure MILLIONS!!! Whilst she never sought recognition, and even submitted her findings anonymously, she was the first Chinese scientist to receive a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine AND the first Chinese woman to receive a Nobel in any scientific category.


😳 And don’t forget the laboraTEAAAA! This week we have an INSANE listener story. Our listener may have caught their lab mates… IN THE ACT… ON THE LAB BENCH!!! What should they do? Report them, confront them, or pretend it never happened? Listen in to find out what we think!
