Dr Cat and JOY’s very own Clayton Wimshurst celebrate the International Day of LGBTQIA+ people in STEM. They share the amazing contributions of legendary LGBTQIA+ scientists who’ve made history and are shaping the future.
Hear the stories of Ben Barres, a neuroscientist and fierce gender equality advocate, having experienced many hurdles in academia as a female before transitioning; Alan Turing, famous for his work developing the first modern computers, who was only pardoned for being gay after his death; and Alan Hart, one of the first trans men in the US to undergo a hysterectomy and a physician who saved countless lives by developing a screen for tuberculosis.
This episode originally aired 19th November, 2024.
