This image features a promotional graphic for "The Binary of Science & Femininity," a guest blog by Rebecca Williams, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge. The background consists of numerous rows of binary code in purple and white, symbolising the theme of binaries. Centred at the top right is a photo of Rebecca Williams, smiling, with the text "Guest Blog" and her name and title beneath it. The blog title "The Binary" is prominently displayed in large, bold white letters at the bottom.
