Discussion Table: The Limit Less campaign - influencing for equity in physics
The Limit Less campaign represents a new approach to increasing equity and diversity in physics, by influencing those that in turn influence underrepresented young people - parents, schools, social media and policy-makers amongst others. This discussion will take in the ongoing campaign itself, and an exploration of the approach of "influencing the influencers" rather then direct engagement... plus anything else brought to the table!
