Ep 14: Sensing chemicals, uncovering discoveries, and wiring Devon for light and power - a podcast by Ada Lovelace Day

This month, Dr Raychelle Burks tells us about the challenges of making field-ready and affordable chemical sensors and how tricky it is to accurately analyse the colours in photographs, and we explore the story of pioneering electrical engineer Margaret Partridge with the Head of the IET Library and Archives, Anne Locker.

We’ll also take a look at some of the challenges involved in telling the stories of inventions and discoveries made by women.

The Ada Lovelace Day podcast highlights the work of women in STEM. We talk to women from around the STEM world about their careers, as well as talking to women and men about historic and modern women’s achievements, discoveries, and inventions.
