This week Jasmine is diving into the deep end with Professor of Climate Science and Energy, Alice Larkin (she/her), and Ishita Somwanshi (she/her) a first year Materials Science and Engineering student.\nWhen you find yourself riding the crest of a wave, Alice argues it’s important to bring others along with you. Be it in climate science or creating equal opportunities, Alice and Ishita both agree that we can’t change the world by ourselves – it takes a village! \nFrom decoding gendered language to reducing shipping emissions, this episode is filled with both newsworthy topics and unexpected directions. Join us to learn why it’s so important to speak up for our peers, even when they’re not in the room, and why it’s okay if your journey into STEM hasn’t been a straight line because together, our differences make us stronger. As Alice would say, ‘It isn’t about individuals, it’s about the collective’.\nSo put your headphones on, get comfy, and join us as we sit down and share our stories, perspectives, and have a good old laugh too. If you thought you didn’t have sisters to turn to for advice, yes you do. \n____\nFollow us on Instagram: @bigsistersinstem\nWatch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7EsaXJ4hJDw\nAbout the guests\n\nWhere do we begin introducing Professor Alice Larkin (she/her)? Currently a Professor in Climate Science and Energy Policy at The Tyndall Centre, and previously Head of Engineering here at The University of Manchester,                  Alice has committed her career to making positive change. Be it through advocating for holistic sustainability solutions, or personally changing recruitment methods to use less gendered language, Alice goes above and beyond to create a better future for others. A true changemaker, we couldn’t be more honoured to have her join the Big Sisters community.  \nAs a first year Materials Science and Engineering student at The University of Manchester, Ishita Somwanshi...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/p1B0d6QvDzG6j1v0uHmx-ToHu6Lmc9wq6Mv2YytatuQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zN2U5/ZjI2OGI3ZTYyMDFm/OWNhY2JiY2NkNzUx/ZGExZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
