Episode 81 - How Science Batman Leah Elson Keeps Things Interesting
In this interview, Leah Elson and I explore a wide range of topics, including overcoming imposter syndrome, cultivating resilience, fostering community, and promoting gender equality in STEM fields.
She shares personal experiences, insights, and practical strategies throughout - and you will learn not only how she has managed to write and illustrate her first book, but also whether honey is actually bee poop...
We talk about the importance of recognizing one's accomplishments and strengths, how to combat self-doubt and support others facing similar challenges.
And of course we dive into her important work combating and debunking bad science!
She also addresses the issue of gender disparities in STEM fields, shedding light on the experiences of women and the need for increased support, inclusivity, and advocacy.
I have no doubt this interview will leave you both inspired, better informed, and with a big smile on your face.
