#BreakTheBias
International Women’s Day
At the RSE Young Academy of Scotland we bring together a diverse community of people working across a broad range of disciplines, including arts, science & engineering, medicine, social justice and climate change. In line with the #BreakTheBias theme of International Women’s Day 2022, we are sharing the career stories of some of our women YAS members. We hope this will give a snapshot of the wide variety of jobs that women work in today, and inspire girls & young women into careers that they may not yet have considered. To illustrate part of their job, each member has also suggested a fun activity for you to try at home!

Special thanks to the STEM Ambassadors in Scotland Hub, who generously helped us to create this initiative.
