Women of mathematics: Anne-Christine Davis
Anne-Christine Davis is a professor of theoretical physics whose long career has seen attitudes towards women change for the better. She had to put up with quite a lot at the start.

Nilanjana Datta works in quantum information theory. She loves how mathematics can describe nature simply and elegantly.
Natalia Berloff is a professor of applied mathematics. It was a problem in network theory that lured her into the exciting world of maths when she was ten years old.
Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb uses mathematics to process and analyse images. She loves the collaborative nature of maths.
Holly Krieger works in dynamical systems theory, in particular on chaotic systems. Some of her greatest mathematical moments have come from teaching students.
Julia Gog is a mathematical biologist, helping to understand how infectious diseases spread. One of her favourite eureka moments came while she was playing a computer game.
One in nine women will get breast cancer in her lifetime, and it seems sensible to screen women for breast cancer to treat them as early as possible. But, as David Spiegelhalter explains, screening is a controversial issue.
Celebrate this year's International Women's Day with some of the articles and podcasts we have produced with women mathematicians over the last year!
We continue our series featuring some of Cambridge's Women of Mathematics, with this 2017 interview with Nilanjana Datta.
Revisit this podcast from 2017, when we spoke to Natalia Berloff, one of the women featured in the Women of Mathematics photo exhibition.
In this final episode of the Women of Mathematics series, we talk to Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb about the collaborative nature of mathematics.
