British Science Week

  • Inspiring the next generation of women in science.

    During British Science Week we asked four women at 3M to tell us what they love about science itself, what advice they would give to their teenage selves about subject choices on their education journey, and what it is like working for a science-based technology company.

    Listen to each of their personal stories below:

    A working mum who wanted to be a ballerina - until a female chemistry teacher inspired her to follow a career in science - Sarah now wants to inspire the next generation herself.
