In this first episode, Professor Helen Meese, the Royal Society’s Entrepreneur in Residence to the Business School and Durham Energy Institute, talks about her inspirational work in healthcare innovation, her journey as an engineer (from defence to policy) and her move into entrepreneurship. 

In this episode of our leadership podcast I was privileged to interview Alderman Professor Emma Edhem. For Durham University, Emma is Professor in Practice in Space Economy, Technology and Innovation, attached to our Law Department and "SPARC", our Space Research Centre. Emma is a quietly confident and utterly competent champion for diversity and resilience. Here, she tells us more about her many and various high profile (and globally influential) public leadership roles, as well as her personal motivations.
