Today is the UN International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a day established by the United Nations General Assembly to highlight the significant gender gap that remains at all levels of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines all over the world.

Read the Master's latest blog post on what Churchill College is doing to increase the diversity of its undergraduate membership.

Churchill College held its first physical sciences residential last month as part of a targeted programme of outreach events to further encourage and enable young women to study science, technology, engineering and mathematical subjects at university.

PhD student Nikita Hari reflects on her journey to Churchill College and shares her vision to uplift society through education and to inspire other women, particularly from developing countries to pursue a career in STEM subjects.

In the Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission's annual report, Churchill has been identified as the highest-achieving College in Oxford and Cambridge in respect of state-sector admissions.

The Master, Professor Dame Athene Donald appeared on this morning's BBC Radio 4's Today programme calling for major changes to the UK education system and for more to be done to counter gender stereotyping which may put women off going into science.
