Exploring the challenges of large-scale green energy deployment, including public education and perceptions of new technologies, Yasmin delves into her experience of moving between industries and roles in engineering. 

 

Yasmin and Lizzie also touch on the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields and how work experience opportunities can promote more equitable access to careers in green energy.
