The Honourable Dr. Kirsty Duncan, former Minister of Science, geographer, and author of The Exclusion Effect: Why Women Are Underrepresented in Science, and How to Fix It, joins us on this episode to discuss the systemic barriers facing women in science and why equity in research matters for everyone. She explains how policy decisions shape scientific progress, why women’s health and women’s leadership remain chronically undervalued, and what it takes to build a research system that truly includes diverse voices. Dr. Duncan also talks about her own experiences navigating sexism in academia and politics, and offers practical advice for how researchers can influence policy and drive meaningful change.
