Religion in Research with Mal Ahmed
Show Notes

This month the office plants are thriving more than the PhD students, and Rebecca and Jodi have been taking their own advice. We also chat to Mal Ahmed, a PhD researcher at Goldsmiths University working on neuropsychology . Mal shares with us her experiences as a practicing Muslim woman in STEM, busting some myths and misconceptions about Islam and also chatting to us about being both religious and a scientist.
