Two budding scientists with epilepsy spent an “inspiring” and “enriching” day exploring laboratories as part of our Me & My Shadow scheme.
Christina Patsourakou from London and Laura Welch from Surrey were the latest participants in our work placement programme, which encourages women with epilepsy to aim high in their careers.
For Christina and Laura, the placement – at leading pharmaceutical company, UCB – was a day of scientific discovery.
The two spent a full day touring the UCB labs at their headquarters in Slough and met women scientists from a wide-range of disciplines.
