2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, as marked by the UN, to celebrate 100 years since the birth of quantum mechanics. But quantum science is one of the least diverse areas of science in terms of gender and other protected characteristics. Jess Wade, a physicist and lecturer in functional materials at Imperial College London, has been fighting the inequality in quantum physics and beyond by creating thousands of Wikipedia pages for women scientists. Jess joins us this month to discuss the past, present, and future of quantum science along with what can be done to increase diversity within the field.

In this episode we talk to British physicist Jess Wade about the 1923 Wikipedia pages (and counting) she’s created and edited in her aim to put more women and more people of colour onto the online encyclopaedia.

We've got physicist/author/Wikipedia nerd Dr Jess Wade in the studio to find out how putting your hands on top of one other could hold the key to understanding more about what happens to very very very very small molecules. Plus we learn what it's like to write a coffee table science book for children (who mostly lack disposable income/coffee tables) and why creating Wikipedia pages to highlight underrepresented figures in science can get messy.

We chat with Jess Wade (Imperial College London) about diversity issues in science, including her work increasing the profile of underrepresented scientists on Wikipedia and on getting more young women into science.
