Robert Boyle Summer School 2021
In science, one is rarely alone, as it often involves teamwork and collaboration. Ideas and concepts are discussed with peers, as was the case for Robert Boyle and his sister in the 17th century. While it was socially acceptable for his sister to do charity work, it was not acceptable for her to publish her work due to the need to preserve her reputation. Unfortunately, there is no evidence of her work except in her letters. This year’s summer school focused on women in science, technology, engineering and maths, who are often overlooked.
