#004: The Butterfly Effect. Thinking non-linearly, speaking up and how to bring the best out in others

In this week's episode the lovely Rebecca Pope joins us to share a number of heartwarming insights about the power of family and the importance of having open and respectful conversations to help educate and shine a light on areas we still need to see improvements, such as around equality in STEM and so much more.
