Joining Adam, from the School of Chemistry at Cardiff University, we hear from Dr Michael Pascoe, who explains the importance of self belief.

Director of Science at Climate X, Dr Claire Burke, discusses opportunities for women in STEM and brings her knowledge of how things work in space back down to Earth.

Engineer, Pearce Jarrett, talks about his experience of dyslexia and introduces his award-winning AI-powered personal training app.
