Prof. Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Mazlan Othman, Astrophysicist

What is it like to reach for and study the stars? Malaysia's first astrophysicist, Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Mazlan Othman, has shown us what that looks like, paving a path for women in STEM and today, she remains a role model for many who dream of a career in astrophysics. She joins us on the show today to reflect back how the stars aligned for her career both in Malaysia and on the global stage, and why we should continue to explore where no man has gone before.
