Ada Lovelace Day 2018: How Did I Get Here? With Dr Rachael Liebmann

17 October 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Free

To celebrate Ada Lovelace Day 2018, Swansea University’s Mary Williams Group is delighted to host Dr Rachael Liebmann from the Royal College of Pathologists. Dr Liebmann will be speaking about her career journey as a woman in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine), and her experiences of leadership at a senior level. Her 45-minute talk will be followed by a Q&A and opportunity for networking.

Free lunch will be available from 11.50am, with the talk beginning at 12.00.

This event is free and open to all staff and students. Please get in touch if you have any dietary or accessibility requirements ahead of the event.

Dr Rachael Liebmann graduated from Queen’s University Belfast in 1991 and is vice President of the Royal College of Pathologists, a specialist breast pathologist and Deputy Medical Director at the Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. In 2018 Rachael was voted one of world’s 100 most influential pathologists according to The Pathologist Magazine Power List, and in 2017 she was awarded the Royal College of Pathologists Medal for distinguished service, the highest accolade the College can bestow on one of its Fellows.

Ada Lovelace Day is an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). It aims to increase the profile of women in STEM and, in doing so, create new role models who will encourage more girls into STEM careers and support women already working in STEM. Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician and writer, known for her work on Charles Babbage’s proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. Her vision of computing’s possibilities was unmatched by any of her peers and went unrecognised for a century.
