International Women's Day 2022 - Amplifying Women's Voices in Climate Change
10 March 2022 | 6pm - 7.30pm
Are women’s voices heard in the climate change debate? Are we sleepwalking into an era where the climate change agenda is led by male voices and leaders?
Our panel of successful female researchers will discuss and look at that question and offer ideas on how women’s voices from research, to business to local communities can be amplified in the climate emergency arena.

Podcast: The pros and cons of antibiotics
Available to download from 20th March
Indiscriminate use of antimicrobials affects not just the bugs that cause disease but also our friendly resident microbes and contributes to antimicrobial resistance. How can we develop new therapies for effective treatment of infections without causing resistance? What is stopping new antimicrobial development? These are just some of the questions we answer in conversation with Dr Karen Scott (Senior Research Fellow, Rowett Institute, University of Aberdeen) and Dr Soumya Palliyil (Head of Scottish Biologics Facility). This is part of the Cafe Connect Podcast series.
The podcast will be available here from the 18th March, booking is not required.
