British Science Week provides a chance to celebrate the diverse people and careers in science and engineering and our second fantastic speaker is Dr Hamied Haroon.

At the University of Manchester, Hamied combines his exciting research career in biomedical MRI with leadership work to improve the rights and opportunities for workers with disabilities.

Hamied launched the National Association of Disabled Staff Networks (NADSN), which has become a hub for people with disabilities working in universities and other organisations across the UK.

Hamied talks about his own journey into science and academia, about setting up NADSN (ten years ago), and about the work that he and NADSN are doing to advance EDI and accessibility for disabled people in STEM. 'A long time coming!'
