Bethany commented: “It was a privilege to be surrounded by so many inspiring women at such a well-attended event. Every single panellist did such a wonderful job of contributing to the discussion of equity in life sciences, and I look forward to the next Women in Biotech event to continue such discussions further. Thank you to the organisers for such an enjoyable experience, and to the panellists for their insights. As Kate mentioned yesterday, the event epitomised “surrounding yourself with people you are in awe of”.”
