In February 2022, Alexandre Eissautier and Clem Samson, two scientific facilitators from Les Petit.e.s Débrouillard.e.s d’Occitanie (APDOC), a not-for-profit populaire science education organisation, interviewed eight women scientists about their careers. These interviews took place as part of the first INSA workshop, held in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. It is hoped that these insightful and candid interviews will provide role-models of women in science to school girls, allowing them to more easily identify with the profession and encourage them to embrace scientific studies.

These interviews are now available under the PODCASTS tab on the INSA website.
