In the first episode of the brand-new Inventive Podcast series, Professor Trevor Cox meets Electronics Engineer Shrouk El-Attar, refugee and campaigner for LGBT rights, recently awarded the Institution of Engineering and Technology's Young Woman Engineer of 2021 for her work in femtech, female-focused technology designed to support women’s health. We commissioned a piece by award-winning writer and poet Tania Hershman based on Shrouk's inspirational interview. Tania's hybrid work Human Being As Circuit Board, Human Being as Dictionary combines fiction, poetry and non-fiction. There is beautiful and poetic imagery, “human being as circuit board”, and exploration of language, “human being as dictionary”.We're delighted to be appearing at The Edinburgh Science Festival in two events featuring our engineers and writers on Monday 28 June and Monday 5 July.
