Abstract
"If you have a diverse group of people making a certain product, it will be a better product. The company will be better, it will be more profitable. Especially with engineering when we are designing products to solve problems - we need to make sure that the problem we are solving is for everyone who has that problem, not just for just a certain slice of society."
Hilary Lamb speaks to Fran Scott who shares her views on some of the misconceptions which still exist in science and engineering, why it is still a priority to make these subjects more accessible and why science capital matters. We hear her passion for making engineering more diverse and how we can go about opening the doors for those who don't have access.
