Science Talk

Heather King is one of the entrepreneurs-in-residence here at The Institute of Cancer Research. As part of a programme of entrepreneurial activities overseen by our Business and Innovation Office, Heather is working closely with our researchers – ultimately, aiming to help develop more new products, services and companies to benefit cancer patients. For International Women’s Day, she spoke to Rose Wu about her journey in science and industry, and her advice for the women leaders of the future.

To mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science this year, we're sharing some words of encouragement and advice from our scientists to inspire the next generation of young women starting out in STEM.

For International Women’s Day, we're talking about the importance of mentorship — for science, for careers and for life. Juanita Bawagan and Clara May spoke to our researchers about their mentorship journeys and how formal mentoring programmes are supporting women in science.
