Ep 17: Medical inventions, satellite propulsion, and imposter syndrome - a podcast by Ada Lovelace Day

This month, we talk to Dr Maryanne Mariyaselvam about how simple medical inventions can save lives, and how they get from lab to hospital. And Dr Dean Burnett discusses why role models are important, plus what imposters syndrome is and how to combat it.

Our Discovery of Month is the invention of the hydrazine resistojet, aka the electrothermal hydrazine thruster, by propulsion engineering Yvonne Brill.

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.
