Making the connection between diversity and success: Jamie Gallagher at TEDxUniversityofGlasgow

Jamie Gallagher is an interdisciplinary scientist and communicator, recently recognised as one of the '175 Faces of Chemistry' by the Royal Society of Chemistry. He believes the more interconnected science is, the stronger it becomes. Jamie advocates for more diversity in scientific approaches, but, more importantly, diversity in scientists. He talks about how gender-stereotyped toys influence children's career choices, what must be done to diversify the face of science, and how diversity connects with success.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
