It’s taken a while to put up but here is a link to a write-up of the event held at the Yorkshire Museum for International Women’s Day 2014, on the 8th March. A group of female scientists from the ScienceGrrl organisation took up residence in the museum for the day, both in the central hall and the galleries, speaking to visitors about their day jobs and demonstrating some hands-on science.

The day was a great success – have a look at Gemma’s blog, who organised the day. Thanks to all involved – and I hope some budding scientists were inspired by the enthusiastic people there! ScienceGrrl exists to show that anyone can get into science – it doesn’t matter what gender you are, no one should feel held back.

I hope the museum can inspire people every day of course – but having some scientists on hand makes all the difference!
