On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, scientist and engineer Dr Noushin Nasiri shares her journey from curious schoolgirl in Iran to heading up her own laboratory in Sydney.

Renowned for his zest for life, he always has a question to ask about the world, she says.

When Dr Nasiri was young, growing up in a small Iranian city near the Caspian Sea, she remembers coming up with innovative answers, only to have them challenged again by her father’s hypothetical scenarios. Dr Nasiri was the recipient of the NSW 2019 Young Tall Poppy Science Award, which recognise the achievements of Australia’s outstanding young scientific researchers and communicators.

Stimulating curiosity is something Dr Nasiri believes needs to happen when girls are around the age of six in order to increase female participation in areas like science, technology, engineering and mathematics in the future.
