Trailblazing astrophysicist and champion of women in science to deliver University of Leicester public lecture

Pulsar discoverer Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell

Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who made one of the most significant scientific discoveries of the 20^th century, has been invited to deliver a keynote public lecture by University Chancellor, and fellow scientist, Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock.

As well as inspiring a new generation of female scientists, Dame Jocelyn has worked hard pushing boundaries to make science a more diverse and inclusive industry.

The astrophysicist was, therefore, the perfect choice for the second edition of Dame Maggie’s Chancellor’s Distinguished Lecture Series, which takes place on campus, on Tuesday 14 May.
