Stephen Sackur speaks to a scientist of rare distinction. Jocelyn
Bell Burnell was a key member of the team which discovered
pulsars and neutron stars in the late 1960s.

She became one of the world’s most renowned astrophysicists -
remarkable for the originality of her research, but also for
being one of the few prominent women in her discipline.

Throughout her career she's blazed a trail for women in a
predominantly male world. Why are there so few women at science's
top table?
