Eleanor Drinkwater is a hugely passionate expedition leader and entomologist. From an early age, she’s had a huge fascination with bugs, in particular asking the question of whether, and why, they have personalities.
She’s recently completed her Ph.D. in researching the personalities of woodlice and has discovered some interesting facts around how our network is impacted by our temperament.
She sees having more women and girls being involved in STEM as a huge asset to the scientific community and encourages girls to discover their passion through science and research.
