51% of LIYSF 2024 participants were young women in science.
Representation is at our core. In 2024, 4/10 plenary speakers, 55% of specialist lecturers, and over 50% of staff (including our Chief of Staff) were women.

We’re empowering diverse voices in STEM.

Some pictures of me at the recent London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF), using my hands, trying to convince a few hundred school students that #geoscience is very cool, very interesting, and very, very important 🤓 🧪 ⚒️
Me, on a big stage, in front of two big screens and a lot of national flags, in front of a large audience Me, on stage, waving my hands around. There are flags in the background and an image of the South Pole on a large screen above my head Me, on stage, waving my hands around Me, on stage, waving my hands around

Quick visit to London Town to talk to a few hundred school pupils at the London International Young Scientists Forum (LIYSF).

Hopefully they took some knowledge and inspiration from my lecture on the #geological record of climate change! 🧪 🤓 🪨
Me, sitting on a wall, smiling. Behind me is a glass wall, on which are etched old maps of London. A stage with two lecterns. At the back of the stage are the flags of 82 countries. Above then is a huge screen that says my name.

Earlier this week I spoke to students from @liysf.bsky.social about my journey through science and life at the John Innes Centre studying plants 🌱 It was a real full circle moment as I attended LIYSF myself when I was 18!
In the background Rose is standing in front of a screen presenting. In the foreground is the backs of students listening to the talk.
