In the second meetup of January 2021, we're joined by Mary Llewellyn. Mary is a PhD student in Statistics at the University of Edinburgh and the co-founder and co-lead of the Piscopia Initiative.
Tackling the participation crisis of women and non-binary students in the mathematical sciences
The Piscopia Initiative (http://www.piscopia.co.uk) was founded in 2019 to tackle the participation crisis in mathematics postgraduate research programmes. In this talk, we will share the experiences of women and non-binary students in mathematics, as well as our own, and our plans for the future to change the landscape of mathematics.
