Ada Lovelace Day: A Celebration of Women in STEMM at UTS
23 October 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Free
The UTS Faculty of Science are celebrating Ada Lovelace Day (belatedly as the day actually falls on 9 Oct 2018) with a panel discussion, networking event with refreshments in collaboration with UTS Library and the Centre for Social Justice and Inclusion. Ada Lovelace was a 19th century English mathematician whose expertise and vision of computing’s possibilities, were unmatched by any of her peers. The celebration aims to increase the profile and intake of women into STEMM fields, research, subjects and vocations.
Be inspired by our guest speakers who will discuss their passions, defining moments and what drives their research. Featuring women in STEMM at UTS, opened by Dr Fiona Brooks, Associate Dean (Research) in the Faculty of Health, the event will be convened by Dr Willa Huston, Molecular Biologist and advocate for equity and diversity in STEMM.
