Inspitalk Podcast is back!
In this episode, our host Dini Widiastuti, Executive Director of Plan Indonesia, together with co-host Ahmad Rusdan H. Utomo, Deputy Rector II of YARSI University, sit down with two inspiring global voices in science and leadership: Dr. Phaedria Marie St. Hilaire, Global Ambassador of Plan International's Global Girls Foundation and Prof. Morten Meldal, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 2022.
The episode highlights the persistent gender gap in STEM that continues to affect girls and women globally, including the lived experiences of Dr. Phaedria as a scientist and global leader. It underscores how systemic barriers still limit girls’ access, participation, and leadership in STEM, and why inclusive education and innovation ecosystems are essential to unlocking their full potential.
The conversation also explores the role of education, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies in shaping the future, emphasizing the need to ensure these advancements are equitable from the start. Closing with a message for Generation Z, both Dr. Phaedria and Prof. Morten call on young people to stay curious, think critically, and use science and technology as tools to drive positive, just, and sustainable change.
