It’s never too late to learn

In the 1950s, my all-girls secondary educated us to become nurses, secretaries, shop assistants and eventually wives and mothers, but not scientists. So BBC Bitesize’s Science Week has been wonderful – I absorbed it all and made copious notes, even trying some of the experiments. I’m making up for this gap in my education and I hope these lessons will continue after lockdown.
