#womeninstemm — Public Fediverse posts

Almost every person will interact with medical imaging at some point in their lives—for many of us, that first time was before we were even born! 🤰

Yet, the professionals who form this part of our care team often remain a mystery. Chaundria Singleton (host of A Couple of Rad Techs podcast) joins us to discuss the vast scope of radiologic technology and how effective science communication empowers both practitioners and patients for better outcomes. 🦴🧬

Happy belated birthday to #mathematician & #polymath, Mary Fairfax Somerville (26/12/1780-1872). As a young widow she made a name for herself when she won a silver medal in 1811 from Military College at Marlow math journal. Wallace suggested she read Laplace & finding she understood it as well as her tutor her confidence increased, & she expanded her studies to #astronomy, chemistry, #geography, microscopy, electricity & magnetism. 🧵

Today's the 56th anniversary of the confirmation of pulsars by Dame Prof. Jocelyn Bell Burnell!

First detected in Aug '67, it wasn't until this day that Queen JBB caught the fast recordings.

This week on STEAM Powered, our conversation is with Professor Moira Clay, CEO and Founder of Moira Clay Consulting.

Ever thought about asking a member of Parliament how to become Prime Minister? Moira Clay, a leading research strategist, asked that very question, and she's now cultivated a career helping leaders in health and medical research make an impact in both research and the community.

Join us as we speak with Moira about her journey in medical research, and developing a holistic and comprehensive approach to cancer treatment.

Coercion is a complex and damaging issue that can happen both at home or work. It can lead to severe behaviours like bullying, gaslighting and sexual harassment. The earlier it is addressed the better. Get informed. Know the signs. Call it out.

of Neptune in 1846. In his review Whewell introduced a new term ‘scientist.' Many claim he praised her as the first #scientist, but in fact he thought she was superior to his utilitarian designation, a "real person of science," a proper natural philosopher & great writer in contrast with other popularizers of science.⁠

Outstanding question from the MC Prof @jodiebradby to #Nobelprize laureates Prof Donna Strickland & Prof @cosmicpinot on unwritten rules that mean you can ignore written ones; women, and indeed minorities, look at written rules (eg committees, job applications)p etc) and strictly follow them. How can we empower people (esp younger colleagues) to push back &overcome/ignore the written rules? #WomenInSTEMM #womeninstem

@MaelBrigde @3RingCircus Strange, #womeninstem hasn't been an issue for me, and it's how I ended up replying. There are lots of variants, maybe some of those will work better? Or maybe case-sensitive?

Can you talk about why we can't cable Thor up to a battery farm as a clean energy resource? Seen wild shit (pun intended) doing wastewater drug monitoring? How about old-school espionage tradecraft tech in a STEMM context?

I have so many questions I need answered in these fields, some I don't even know I have yet. Help a geek-curious gal out.

(I figured out answer to the Thor one from an old post I found on a university blog, but I'd still be up to talking to someone about it)

Hi! I'm a #creator, #technologist, #dev, #VoiceArtist, #founder, and knowledge and skill explorer.

I #freelance and #RemoteWork (since 2008) and am a #BusinessOwner providing business and tech consulting services. I'm also building #SaaS to help me and other speakers, podcast creators, and producers.

My passion project is @steampoweredshow, a #longform #podcast and #YouTube channel where I have conversations with #WomenInSTEAM fields about their journey, their work, what they're passionate about, and things they've learned along the way.

I believe in the 'A' in STEAM, the between spaces in these fields, #interdisciplinary, #multidisciplinary, #antidisciplinary and the brilliant things that happen when people #collaborate to #innovate.
