Rory Archibald, business development manager for associations and sectors at VisitScotland Business Events, explores the contributions Scottish women have made to the world of science, and how business events can help encourage more women to go into STEM.
Today, 11 February, marks international Women and Girls in Science Day which celebrates women in the sector and their work, innovation and research.
To mark this day, we want to shine a light on the Scottish women who have made significant contributions to the science and engineering sectors.
