Missed Voice of the Future last Wednesday? @Society_Biology have made a @Storify of the event: http://t.co/oi361JOoVi #VOF2013
That's it for #VOF2013! Lots of interesting questions and answers. Hope you enjoyed the event and were able to follow along online.
.@ShabanaMahmood Positive discrimination has worked in politics, but not sure how to transfer to science. Try everything else first #VOF2013
.@ShabanaMahmood: Issue in how we talk about women in science as problem - may be putting off future senior female scientists #VOF2013
Question: Would positive discrimination towards women in STEM be useful? What can unis and companies do to prevent drop out? #VOF2013
The final panel of the session is @ShabanaMahmood, Shadow Minister for Universities and Science #VOF2013
Willetts: After his detailed answer, at least we know the Chief Scientific Adviser to @bisgovuk is thinking about Mars landing! #VOF2013
Prof Perkins: Best estimate at moment is 2050. Landing on Mars is harder than moon and many challenges on the way. #VOF2013
Last Q of session: Assuming we reach Mars by 2018 (w/ #InspirationMars) how long before we can land there? What tech would we need? #VOF2013
Prof Perkins of @bisgovuk: "Physics is particularly important because we need engineers" #VOF2013

Second question from IOP: what do you believe the scientific community needs to do to ensure UK remains a world leader in science? #VOF2013
.@APMiller1949: We need to make sure teachers know all career options in science & that there are role models for women in science #VOF2013
How important is it to increase the number of women in senior positions in science? Should the government do more? #VOF2013
Second session starting now, with a new panel asking questions of the @CommonsSTC #VOF2013
.@uksciencechief says key is to have people in "critical friend" role and ability to question all scientific advice given. #VOF2013
Question from IOP representative: Is scientific advice really independent if it comes from a scientist within government? #VOF2013
