Live at the AM: Women in Science - Dr Helen Maynard-Casely
09 Mar 2017
In this AM Live episode, Dr Helen Maynard-Casely talks about exploring the solar system on the eve of the United Nations Day of Women and Girls In Science on 11 February. “I know why I’m a scientist: when I was 8 the very first British person in space was a woman called Helen Sharman, and I wandered up to see my dad after hearing this momentous news and said “Dad - I’m going to space because that’s what Helens do.” I really can’t tell you how important that moment was for me - it drove me to be a scientist and to want to explore space.”
