Science communicator Dr Emily Grossman visited Bolton School to address the question, Am I Too Sensitive For Science? The answer was a resounding no: Dr Grossman recounted her unusual career path, talked candidly about some of the challenges she has faced as a woman in science and discussed the need to dispel the stereotype that scientists are all cold, emotionless and male.
The talk was free and open to the public as part of the Girls' Division's ongoing series of Arts and Sciences Enrichment Evenings.
