The current state of diversity in science is poor at best. Discoveries and stories of underrepresented scientists are often erased from the history books, when we know they play significant roles in the advancement of science.

This event is sponsored by the Wellcome Collection and London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN).
Know of an underrepresented scientist from the past? Submit a question to Diversity Challenge and it could appear on the live show!
