Welcome to another MessyTalks episode! This episode discusses the conventions and stereotypes that gender can impose on individuals and by extension how this can influence and restrict the way that one lives out their daily life. We discuss how gender can affect the choices we make and permeate to our mental and physical health. Overall, the topic of gender is linked back to engineering through the importance of having mixed teams in engineering and how a well-balanced team produces successful and well-rounded outcomes.
