The big things women are doing in nanoscience

It's widely known that physics, chemistry and engineering are fields largely dominated by men, but a group of the country's top female scientists are hoping to highlight the successes of women in a series of talks around New Zealand. This year's MacDiarmid Regional Lecture Series kicked off in Tauranga in August - with a focus on women in nanoscience. Kathryn Ryan speaks with Auckland University's Jenny Malmstrom and Cather Simpson.
