Welcome to She Talks Science at Murray Edwards College!
We are excited to share our resources, events and blog posts with you.
Resources
Below you will find downloadable academic resources, which will enable you to explore particular topics within biology, chemistry and physics in depth. They have been developed by senior graduate students at the University of Cambridge and relate to their respective fields of research. The resources are designed to provide students considering a degree in science, the opportunity to explore their subject beyond the curriculum. You can work through these resources independently.
She Talks Science conference – Saturday 27 April 2019
The Murray Edwards College annual ‘She Talks Science’ conference is for young women in Year 12 who are interested in studying STEM subjects at degree level. The conference offers a chance to hear from successful women scientists about their career paths and provides the opportunity to take part in an academic session in a STEM subject. Please view the programme for further details.
This event is free of charge and lunch will be provided. You can secure your place by completing our short online booking form. The final day for booking a place is Monday 22 April. If you have any questions about this event, please contact Hazel Collinson.
