100 Women: Seven trailblazing women in science
6 November 2017
More than half of people in the UK can't name a famous woman in science, a survey suggests. This week, BBC 100 Women aims to change that number.
A 2014 YouGov survey of almost 3,000 people, conducted on behalf of UK grassroots group ScienceGrrl, found that only 47% of those asked could name a famous woman scientist.
Many identified Marie Curie. Others simply named a male scientist.
