Ellie Roberts
Communications Assistant

Ellie Roberts is an Arts and Sciences undergraduate student at University College London were she is interested in the brain and science communication. Ellie has a focus on the relationship between science and society concerning responsible reporting of scientific findings and public engagement. Ellie has developed this interest through reading about “neurosexism”, the practice of seeking out sex differences in the brain, such as discarding "negative" results of no difference, and the popularisation of such unreliable findings and how they reinforce gender inequality. Additionally, Ellie is passionate about diversity in STEM due to the consequences of its absence, particularly the lack of equivalent research surrounding women’s health.
