St Andrews was one of the Scottish cities involved in celebrating European Researchers’ Night as part of Explorathon 2016. Explorathon consisted of a collection of engaging and exciting science-based events to spark interest among members of the public. As part of the evening of events, I participated in the XX Factor where six female researchers presented not only the topic of their research, but also the steps taken towards their career. The event aimed to inspire young boys and girls and to show them the diverse backgrounds that researchers can have.
