Science funding cuts choke tech talent pipeline
Manage episode 432999316 series 3497544
Dr Michelle Dickinson, also known as Nanogirl, has been working on taking her passion for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to as many people as possible.
During covid, Dickinson was a key part of a team getting the word out about how to keep as safe as possible and for her efforts, had her personal details published online and received threats.
Undeterred, she has spent years building up her business demystifying tech for businesses, and promoting STEM as a career choice for young people across NZ and beyond.
But in the last year, cuts to funding of science initiatives across the country have left her concerned that fewer young people than ever will be given the resources, space and support to learn to love science.
