SUMMARY:Ada Lovelace Day Panel Event: Championing Success and Avoiding the Echo Chamber #WiSTEMspotlight
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nJoin us on 6th October from 6.30pm at our London HQ for our next Spotlight event\, a free evening of talks discussing issues around women in STEM and what we can actively do to make a difference.\n \nThis event is part of a series hosted by Digital Science to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day and will look at: Championing Success and Avoiding the Echo Chamber. \nAda Lovelace Day is an international celebration of the achievements of women in science\, technology\, engineering and maths (STEM). For the last few years\, October marks a busy month for Digital Science\, littered with celebratory blog posts\, online events\, physical events and poetry (you can read summaries here). \nThis year\, Digital Science is proud to be sponsoring Ada Lovelace Day Live! again\, this time at The IET on the 11th October. More details about that event can be found here. In the build-up to this event\, we will also be featuring a collection of stories from a handful of talented men and women in STEM. \nOur event on 6th October will provide an opportunity to learn from an inspirational panel with a focus on how we can champion success and avoid that echo chamber. The panel will consist of researchers\, journalists\, and advocates in the STEM fields. \nThe discussions will shine a positive light on the current situation and we’ll hear from advocates\, mentors and take a look at how these activities can be improved and sustained. We hope for a lively Q&A session to round off the discussions. \nStay tuned for further information\, we’ll likely announce the lineup in the next few days\, but you can register for an early bird spot here and keep an eye on the social hashtag #WiSTEMspotlight. \nWhat will be discussed? \nThe evening will form an open discussion\, but we really want to look at the following issues: \n\nWomen and men working in STEM – What is driving the slowing pipeline for women studying STEM subjects at university? Is it really that bad?\n\n\nRole models and mentors – How do we get more role models and how do we encourage people to mentor – what initiatives exist and can we do more?\n\n\nMedia – How are women in STEM viewed in the media\, can we change / help these perceptions?\n\n\nFuture – How can we actually make a difference rather than just continue talking about issues?\n\nHere are some previous blog posts to give you a taster – if you would like to get involved\, please do get in touch. \n\nResearch Evaluation’s Gender Problem – and Some Suggestions for Fixing It – Stacy Konkiel \nParity at the Podium: Why We Need More Women Speakers – Lauren Kane\, Alice Meadows\nScholarly Publishing Demographic Survey Reveals Major Diversity Challenges in Scholarly Publishing – Laura Wheeler

SUMMARY:Academic Women Now: experiences of mid-career academic women in Scotland
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 11 October is Ada Lovelace Day\, an international celebration of the achievements of women in science\, technology\, engineering\, maths and medicine (STEMM).\nTo celebrate\, Heriot-Watt University will host an exhibition showcasing the career paths of Heriot-Watt mid-career female academics*\, women who have been through the early career stage but not yet reached the pinnacle of their careers. Some have worked overseas or in industry and many balance their career with family responsibilities. In demonstrating their routes to success we hope to offer inspiration to early career researchers considering a career in academia and seeking a window into how it can be achieved. \n  \n*These profiles are taken from the publication “Academic Women Now: experiences of mid-career academic women in Scotland” published by the Royal Society of Edinburgh’s Young Academy of Scotland. This initiative was led by Dr Aileen Fyfe\, Prof Ineke De Moortel and Prof Sharon Ashbrook\, University of St Andrews.

SUMMARY:Ada Lovelace Day: celebrating four significant women in STEM
DESCRIPTION:Each year group has been selected a woman who has made a significant contribution to STEM subjects. An eclectic bunch; Jane Goodall\, Sarah Guppy\, Rosalind Franklin and Nichelle Nichols…they are chosen to give the children an insight into the very different roles women can play and also the very different historical times they lived in\, and how attitudes to women and their place in society have changed almost beyond recognition.\nFor each topic there is a practical exercise ranging from communicating a message without words\, to extracting DNA; from bridge building to the bridge of the SS Enterprise.

SUMMARY:Ada Lovelace Day 2016 at the University of Edinburgh
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday 11th October 2016\, in Room 1.12 of the University of Edinburgh Main Library\, we will again be running a Wikipedia edit-a-thon to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day 2016\, an international celebration day of the achievements of women in science\, technology\, engineering and maths (STEM). \nWhat’s involved? \nWe begin at 10am with a range of guest speakers in the morning: \n\n10.00am to 11am – Talks.\n\nMelissa Highton – Welcome and intro about Ada Lovelace & Mary Somerville\nJenni Houston – Mentoring\nFrances Grebenc – The mentoring programme at Edinburgh University\nSchool of Maths – The maths of Ada Lovelace.\nStewart Cromar – The latest on the Lego Lovelace project – 10\,000 votes later.\n\n\n\nThis will be followed by fun technology activities from 11am to 1pm: \n\nMetadata games\nFun with BBC Microbit – a handheld\, fully programmable computer that you can use for all sorts of cool creations\, from robots to musical instruments – the possibilities are endless.\nFun with Sonic Pi – the live coding music synth for everyone.\nCreate Lego calculators/adders.\nColour in a giant ‘Garden of Ada’ design; hand drawn by our Interactive Content team along with a number of other Ada Lovelace OER resources.\n\nDid you know that approximately only 16% of the biographies on Wikipedia relate to notable women? If you’d like to help redress this imbalance\, new editors are very welcome and participants will be supported to develop Wikipedia articles; creating new role models for young and old alike. \nWikipedia editathon on Women in STEM 1-5pm: \nFull Wikipedia editing training will be given at 1-2pm. Thereafter the afternoon’s editathon from 2-5pm will focus on improving the quality of Wikipedia articles related to Women in STEM! \nThe event page can be accessed here: http://bit.ly/2cGapkn \nThe focus might shift a little this year to female mentors given that Mary Somerville is to grace the £10 note this year so our event will have an extra focus on women in maths too. \nWho was Ada Lovelace? \nAda Lovelace (1815–1852)\, the only legitimate child of the poet George\, Lord Byron and his wife Anne Isabella Milbanke\, was an English mathematician and writer\, chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage‘s early mechanical general-purpose computer\, the Analytical Engine. Her notes on the engine include what is recognised as the first algorithm intended to be carried out by a machine. As a result\, she is often regarded as the first computer programmer with her work a major influence on Alan Turing & inspiring countless others. There’s now a graphic novel of her short but brilliant life and you can read more about her here. \nWant to come?  \nFor booking purposes\, the day is split in two parts: talks & technology activities in the morning and the Women in STEM Wikipedia editathon in the afternoon. \nYou can attend both morning and afternoon sessions or just one. \n\nTo book a place for the morning activities (10am to 1pm):\n\nClick here for Ada Lovelace Day – talks & fun technology activities\n\n\nTo book a place for the afternoon editathon (1pm to 5pm):\n\nClick here for the Women in STEM Wikipedia edit-a-thon\n\n\n\nTime for lunch?  \nFood can be brought into the room and the fun technology activities from 11am to 1pm can be dropped in and out of. Tea & coffee will be provided and there is also the Library Cafe downstairs where you can get refreshments and a bite to eat. \nNot a student or staff member of the university? A limited number of tickets are available through Eventbrite (links are on the event page). \nWant to take part remotely? Drop me an email at ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk \nSuggestions for notable Women in STEM who could & should be represented on Wikipedia? \nFeel free to suggest name of notable women we could include as part of this day of celebration. Email me at ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk \nHope to see you there! \nEwan McAndrew\nWikimedian in Residence

SUMMARY:Remembering Lise Meitner - a project to encourage girls to A level Physics
DESCRIPTION:Atomic arts project targets teenage scientists \nBudding female physicists encouraged by play \n\nGround breaking project to be piloted at QE Academy in Crediton on 6 October \nFull showcase at Sidmouth College on 11 October\, Ada Lovelace Day\nInvitation only performance at QE Acadamy on 12 October \nTeam behind project seeking funding to roll this out across UK\n\nFollowing the success of its explosive Science Cabaret production “Dark Matters”\, the science focused theatre company Foot-candle Productions – supported by Daisi[1] and Queen Elizabeth’s (QE) Academy – is putting the spotlight on one of science’s unsung feminine heroes\, the ground breaking Austrian atomic Physicist Lise Meitner\, whose work changed the world.  The new work\, a day long experience to be run in schools\, has been created to encourage more young women across the UK to consider Physics A-level. \nSupported by £30\,000 awarded by several arts and science based funding bodies[2] the troupe has created an immersive educational experience for schools\, culminating in a production of a newly written play “The Lise Meitner Story” by Devon-based playwright Vince Miles and a plenary session. \nThe experience has been designed to fall within usual school hours and will run parallel to the national curriculum.   A total of 30 young people will be selected to take part in each day\, including sixth form students and others from years 9 – 11.  At least 50% will be girls. \nFoot-candle Productions will be running the day at two schools during October 2016.  The first will be at QE Academy – which has been integral to the success of the project – on 6 October\, and the second will take place on 11 October\, Ada Lovelace Day (a day recognizing women’s vital role in the promotion of the sciences) at Sidmouth College. \nBoth days will involve participatory workshops to explore Lise’s extraordinary life and work.  This will be brought to life in “The Lise Meitner Story”\, performed by Belinda Chapman\, Josiah Pearsall and Tony Lidington in a school science lab. \nMeitner’s story is a vivid one.  Born in Austria in 1878\, she was a physicist all her adult life\, working with the best scientists of the day and at the cutting edge of atomic physics and nuclear fission (Albert Einstein called her “our Marie Curie”).  However\, born a Jew\, the rise of Hitler’s Germany was to change the course of Lise’s life\, as she fled her homeland and career at the age of 60.  She continued her work in her adopted homeland of Sweden\, but her brilliance was never truly recognized during her lifetime\, and the fact she never won the Nobel Prize for physics (despite many members of her team\, including Otto Hahn\, winning the for the same work) is a considered a great injustice.  Lise died in England in 1968 (in her later years she taught at Cambridge)\, and is buried in Hampshire.  Her story\, despite her huge influence in the field of atomic physics\, remains largely unknown \nJohn Teasdale\, co- founder of Foot-candle Productions and Maths teacher at QE is leading on the content for the Meitner days. \n“I am indeed Maths teacher and a graduate of physics\, but I am also a father of three daughters and a brother to four sisters.  If anyone should be aware of female role models in Maths and science it is me.  But\, until two years ago\, I only had a shadowy knowledge of the work of Lise Meitner\, and was certainly unaware of the profound impact she has had on the world we live in today.  So\, through Foot-candle and my work at QE\, I am honoured give Lise the spotlight she deserves and use her story to inspire young women to consider physics at A-level and beyond. \n“I am looking forward to the challenge of communicating the thrill of understanding Meitner’s use of e=mc2.  The morning workshop activities will introduce the mathematical and physics background to nuclear fission and present the main scientists whose work contributed to the discovery that Meitner ultimately made. \n“I also want to showcase that this is not ‘historical science’ – Meitner’s work is put to use across the world every day.  Indeed\, the recent green light for the nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point means we will be seeing the results of her work on our own doorstep in the not too distant future.  The timing could not be better for us\, and we will be exploring this\, and the need for more female scientists in the UK to work at facilities like Hinkley\, during our workshops.” \nQE has an enviable track record in Maths and Science teaching\, and Head of Physics Nick Baker has been a keen supporter of the project: \n“We are always looking for new ways to challenge and inspire our students\, and this project\, which focuses on a single woman’s incredible journey through the scientific discoveries of the early twentieth century\, will do just that. It’s an excellent way to learn about the interconnectivity of science in a way which will inspire all young people.” \nDr Helen Heath of Bristol University and experimentalist at CERN\, and scientific adviser for this project adds: \n“I am delighted to be involved in this Foot-Candle initiative. There are many great unsung female scientists so it’s great to see Lise Meitner and her work coming to public attention in this way.” \nRae Hoole of Foot-candle Productions and project coordinator\, ends: \n“This project is an innovative and enterprising way of encouraging young girls to take a leap of faith and consider a career in Physics which could enable them to go on to make a contribution to resolving  Britain’s growing  energy supply problems in a post fossil fuel era. \n“Our future is dependent on engaging our children in science\, and how wonderful would it be if Lise’s story meant a British woman spearheads future scientific discovery.  It is no accident that we are running our day on Ada Lovelace Day – the light she has cast across women in science is powerful and will give further glow to our own tale. \n“Our ultimate goal is to roll out the Lise Meitner immersion day to schools across the UK\, but to do this we need more funding.  With the thanks to the evaluation metrics being put in place by Daisi\, we will have the evidence we need to apply for the backing required to take this idea to the next level.” \n[1] Daisi is the Arts Education Partnership organisation for Devon and Torbay \n[1] The Babcock Education Fund.  Institute of Physics public engagement fund.  Science and Technology Facilities Council. \nENDS \nPress are invited to attend the performance of The Lise Meitner Story at Sidmouth College on 11 October (show runs 11.45-12.45) \n[1] Daisi is the Arts Education Partnership organisation for Devon and Torbay \n[2] The Babcock Education Fund.  Institute of Physics public engagement fund.  Science and Technology Facilities Council.
