In the first episode of the brand-new Inventive Podcast series, Professor Trevor Cox meets Electronics Engineer Shrouk El-Attar, refugee and campaigner for LGBT rights, recently awarded the Institution of Engineering and Technology's Young Woman Engineer of 2021 for her work in femtech, female-focused technology designed to support women’s health. We commissioned a piece by award-winning writer and poet Tania Hershman based on Shrouk's inspirational interview. Tania's hybrid work Human Being As Circuit Board, Human Being as Dictionary combines fiction, poetry and non-fiction. There is beautiful and poetic imagery, “human being as circuit board”, and exploration of language, “human being as dictionary”.
