Ep 16: Fire engineering, Liquid Paper, and understanding memory and cognition - a podcast by Ada Lovelace Day

This month, Kristen Salzer-Frost introduces us to the relatively new discipline of fire engineering. And Nicole George and Cordon Purcell talk about why neuropsychologist Dr Brenda Milner’s work on memory and cognition has been so influential.

Our Discovery of the Month is the intriguing story of Liquid Paper, invented by Bette Nesmith Graham in 1951.

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.
