Three female University of Queensland science researchers will head to Antarctica as part of a year-long leadership scheme, joining 97 other female scientists.

 

A three-week trip to Antarctica is the summit of a year-long journey, where the participants explore leadership, strategy and how to extend the reach of their science message through virtual meetings and online curriculum.

 

They are part of the fourth group chosen for the Homeward Bound program, which aims to create a global network of women in science who can influence policy and decision making.
