Chi Onwurah, the Shadow Minister for Science, Research, and Innovation, visited Space Park Leicester and the University of Leicester (@uniofleicester) to observe and discuss the enhancement of inclusion in STEM fields and partnerships with industry. The visit, which was warmly received by staff and students, coincided with celebrations for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, emphasizing the importance of diversity and inclusion within STEM. Onwurah praised the dedication of those advancing the UK's space sector and the diversity of space science skills. The hashtag #CitizensOfChange was used in tweets to highlight the event. Additionally, various organizations and individuals acknowledged the International Women in Science day, promoting the role of women in STEM (#WomenInSTEM) and the need for their increased participation and representation.
