Podcasts about girls in science

February 11 marks the 9th annual International Day of Women and Girls in Science. To celebrate, we sat down with some of the amazing women scientists at UNE to discuss why they love their subjects, and what advice they have for other young women and girls who want to make a career in STEM. 

Immunic Inc Chief Scientific Officer Hella Kohlhof sheds light on her crucial role and the groundbreaking strides being made in the scientific world ahead of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science on 11 February. As CSO, Kohlhof is pivotal in crafting the scientific strategy for Immunic's projects, focusing on understanding molecular actions, ensuring safety in preclinical regulatory work, and developing biomarkers for early activity indications. Her responsibilities extend beyond internal operations to engaging with stakeholders, including investors and scientists, highlighting the collaborative essence of scientific progress. Kohlhof told Proactive her passion for science was ignited in her school days, fascinated by the intricate mechanisms of viruses. This curiosity led her from working as a lab technician to pursuing advanced studies in biology, culminating in a PhD focused on viral behavior. Her journey wasn't without challenges; she recalls a noteworthy incident underscoring the gender biases in science, which taught her the importance of resilience and not taking gendered assumptions personally. For young women aspiring to careers in science, Kohlhof emphasizes the power of curiosity and the willingness to seize opportunities, even in the face of uncertainty. She advocates for a fearless approach to learning and exploration, underscoring that achievements in science come from a blend of passion and perseverance. #ImmunicInc #WomenInScience #ScientificInnovation #HellaKohlhof #Biotech #ScienceCareers #FemaleScientists #MolecularBiology #PreclinicalResearch #ScienceEducation #STEM #PhDinBiology #Virology #ScientificResearch #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience #CareerAdvice #WomenInSTEM #Biotechnology #ScientificStrategy #RegulatoryWork #Biomarkers #QualityManagement#proactiveinvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

"Innovate. Demonstrate. Elevate. Advance." says the UN as it launches its 8th year for Women in Science. To mark the day, in the lead up to Women's Day on 8 March, Research Luxembourg will release six videos following six female scientists in various stages of their life's work. Anyone who knows me knows I love science. And so it's a delight to host a show dedicated to the UN's eighth International Women and Girls in Science Day - 11th February. The theme this year is: "Innovate. Demonstrate. Elevate. Advance. I.D.E.A.: Bringing communities Forward for sustainable and equitable development" Why is it still important to have this conversation and shine a light on women in science? Well, there are many sets of statistics to show that women represent about a third of researchers, and yet only about 12% are members of national science academies. In AI, only one in five professionals are female. There's a pay gap for female researchers and their career's tend to be shorter, their work under-represented in high-profile journals and - for whatever reason - fewer women enter managerial positions in science and engineering. Research Luxembourg has collaborated with the Ministry for Equality (MEGA) for the second year running to release a set of six videos featuring six female scientists at various stages of their career. The theme is 'Be Brave - Women [& Girls] in Science and you can watch the trailer here. https://youtu.be/frIU2TrookA The goal of the campaign is to tell a variety of stories, and the many paths of women in science; to inspire and to give role models. You can see all the videos on the websites of Research Luxembourg and FNR over the course of the coming month up to 8 March, Women's Day. researchluxembourg.org/en/women-science-2023/ https://www.fnr.lu/womeninscience What is Research Luxembourg? Research Luxembourg is a joint initiative of the main actors in Luxembourg public research, with the support of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research: Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER), Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), University of Luxembourg, Luxinnovation and Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR). As equality of educational opportunity is one of the pillars of the national research and innovation strategy, gender equality is a central aim for developing a fair research environment in which all talents can foster excellence. Research Luxembourg is represented in our studio conversation by Marc Schiltz, CEO of FNR. This campaign features six women and two of them join me in the studio: Sallam Abualhaija,a research scientist working on AI with software engineering at the University of Luxembourg's Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust, SnT; and Anne-Marie Hanff, a nurse now working towards her PhD with LIH to protect people with Parkinson's disease degenerating over time. I am also joined by Kristel Weinreich, Senior Recruitment Officer at LIST, and Carole Blond-Hanten, sociologist at LISER in the Labour Market Department.

As the United Nations marks the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, this episode of The Weekly Tradecast talks about bridging the gender divide with two young researchers from Egypt and the Philippines.  The STEM areas – science, technology, engineering and mathematics – offer enormous opportunities for women. But attitudes persist that these are fields mainly for men, often leaving women under-represented or excluded.   Menatallah Elserafy and Fresthel Climacosa just completed a one-month fellowship doing cutting-edge health research in Japan. Started in 2020, the Young Female Scientist Program is run by UNCTAD and Okayama University to support women in developing countries by sharing skills, knowledge and inspiration.   Listen in to the two young scientists to hear more about their time in Japan, their research work and their plans for the future. 

Date: 08.02.2023 Join Aneeq ur Rahman and Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: "Women and Girls in Science" and "Gratitude" Women and Girls in Science The African proverb “If you educate a man, you educate an individual. If you educate a woman you educate a nation” brilliantly illustrates just how much an educated woman can contribute. Join us as we look at the wonders done by women in science and a generation of females continuing to do the same. Gratitude Allah has said in the Holy Quran: “If you are grateful, I will, surely, bestow more favours on you.” Join us as we discuss the science behind gratitude and how it can change the way you feel about yourself and the world. Let us teach you how you can develop small habits of gratitude throughout your day. Guests: Sitara Burooj (Postgraduate student at Oxford University researching CLL and Richter's syndrome) Zayn Karim (Student) Munira Zahabi (Entrepreneur, Empowering speaker, Business, Facility and Sales Management Consultant) Monika Bammi (Reiki Master, Wellbeing coach, NLP practitioner and Mother) Producers: Syeda Tahdia and Haniya Javaid

‘Breakthrough' In Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Research Is Misleading Last week, headlines made the rounds in online publications and social media that there was a massive breakthrough in research about SIDS: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. A study out of Australia concluded that babies who died of SIDS had significantly lower levels of an enzyme called BChE. This study was met with cheers by people desperate to understand why SIDS happens. But many experts say we need to pump the brakes on the celebration. While the study may be promising, it was based on a very limited sample—just 26 babies who had died of SIDS. A variety of factors could explain their different levels of BChE, says Dr. Rachel Moon, a professor of pediatrics and SIDS research at the University of Virginia. Moon explains that there are two major hurdles for researchers trying to investigate the causes of SIDS. First, as grieving parents are very unlikely to consent to their deceased child's use in medical studies, the sample pool for genetic testing of SIDS death is incredibly small. Secondly, there are just very few people who specialize in the syndrome; Dr. Moon suspects there are one hundred or fewer researchers of SIDS in the entire world. She joins guest host John Dankosky to discuss how these factors make it hard for researchers to study why some babies continue to die prematurely.   Period Tracking Apps And Digital Privacy In A Post-Roe World After the leak of the Supreme Court's pending decision on Roe v. Wade law, digital privacy experts have been raising an alarm about digital privacy. Millions of people use apps to track their menstrual cycles—the popular app Flo has 43 million active users. And Clue, a similar company, says they have 12 million monthly active users. But in recent weeks, many on social media have been urging others to delete their period tracking apps, saying that the data you share on them could be potentially be used against you if abortion becomes criminalized in states across the country. Guest host John Dankosky talks with Laura Lazaro Cabrera, legal officer at Privacy International, about what kinds of data period tracking apps collect, how personal health data can be used in court, and how to protect your digital privacy.   How Can We Inspire The Next Generation Of Female Scientists? The work of pioneering female scientists like Marie Curie and Jane Gooddall have served as an inspiration to many aspiring scientists. But less well-known are the early and mid-career female scientists who are working to answer some of today's biggest scientific questions. A new book from National Geographic offers kids and tweens a look into the day-to-day lives of women working in the fields of volcanology, biology, anthropology, astronomy, and more. A central theme among the profiles is persistence in the face of obstacles. Producer Shoshannah Buxbaum talks with Clare Fiesler, conservation biologist, National Geographic explorer, and co-author of No Boundaries: 25 Women Explorers and Scientists Share Adventures, Inspiration, and Advice.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Please wear your mask indoors for this episode- make sure it covers your nose and mouth…it ain't over yet! As the Colonel embarks on life as a father of two, we discuss the blatant politics behind the proposed religious discrimination laws, the continued disorientation of Covid and the importance of saying hello to the barista at a cafe…don't miss it folks- it's a short, sharp slap around the face of a chat- generally speaking, are women more interested in people and men in things? Is it that simple, was it ever? Also the Colonel uses the C word and talks about Joe Rogan- don't listen if that offends you.

Hannah Hussain narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! This day annually marks the resolution set by the United Nations in 2015 to celebrate women and girls in science and raises awareness of the gender gap in the field of Science and Technology. The gender gap in science still holds women back. According to UNESCO's Science Report, only 1/3 of science-based researchers are female. While >70% of health and social care workers are women, they are paid ~11% less than their male counterparts. But the world needs science, and science needs women and girls! And what better way to honour this day than reflecting on some of the ground-breaking contributions made to the field by female scientists… Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/guest-blog-women-and-girls-in-science-agents-of-change/ -- Hannah Hussain is a PhD Student in Health Economics at The University of Sheffield. As a proud third generation  migrant and British-Asian, her career path has been linear and ever evolving, originally qualifying as a Pharmacist in Nottingham, then Health Economics in Birmingham. Her studies have opened a world into Psychology, Mental Health and other areas of health, and with that and personal influences she found her passion for dementia. -- Enjoy listening?

#February11

“Although there is this sense where you don't really find as many women in science, and when we get missed out of science, I think we have been really lucky and fortunate to work with incredible women in large numbers. We're quite lucky to find the experiences that we have.” […] “Life is so precious, we really shouldn't be spending any time doing things we don't enjoy.” In this week's episode of The G Word, Dr Ellen Thomas, Clinical Director and Director of Quality at Genomics England, is joined by Arzoo Ahmed, Ethics Lead of the Newborn Genomes Programme, and Cassandra Smith, Senior Bioinformatician, both at Genomics England. Ellen worked on the delivery of the 100,000 Genomes Project and Cassie did her PhD using bioinformatics to study parts of mitochondria before joining the operations team at Genomics England. Arzoo completed her MPhil in Mediaeval Arabic Thought before moving onto the Nuffield Council on Bioethics and then joining the Ethics Team here at Genomics England. In this discussion, these three brilliant women talk through their roles and what inspired them to pursue a career at Genomics England. In celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, they also discuss the challenges they have faced along the way and how being a woman has impacted their career.

For the entirety of human history, women and girls have contributed to advancement across the vast range of scientific disciplines. And as we celebrate those achievements and contributions, we recognize that science and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Over the past decades, the global community has made significant efforts to break down barriers for women and girls in science. In order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls, and further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, the United Nations General Assembly declared 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science in 2015. Still a significant gender gap has persisted throughout the years at all levels of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines all over the world. Even though women have made tremendous progress towards increasing their participation in higher education, they are still under-represented in these fields. So, in today's conversation we will give space to amazing and pioneering women who are leading the charge to redefine the STEM world and create more access for women and girls globally.

This week is March 8th, International Women's Day. So we thought we'd dedicate a special episode to the little girls working or interested in science. For the occasion, we will hear a cute video from Dorothy Vaughan who is a revolutionary in her field and who did a lot for NASA. Afterwards, Debi Derryberry who voiced Jimmy Neutron in The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius is with us and shares a story she wrote herself. Jaeda teaches you about DNA by reading a story. Have a goodnight and to all the little girls listening to us tonight, don't forget: Believe in yourself and dream big!

President Michael D. Higgins marked the United Nations International Day of Women and Girls in Science with a special message for 11 February 2021. In his message, the President said that the International Day provides an appropriate occasion “to celebrate the contribution of women to the field of science, to acknowledge how important a contribution it is, and to highlight the ongoing need for action to ensure the voices of women and girls are heard more widely and at every level in the world of science.” Noting that, despite progress in recent years, a significant gender gap remains, the President highlighted a number of issues that affect women’s participation in science and technology, to be addressed urgently. In his message, President Higgins also addressed “every young girl who is wondering if a future in science is for her”, by highlighting the many positive female role models and telling aspiring female scientists to “carry your knowledge and skills with pride.” Throughout his term in office, President Higgins has drawn attention to the gender gap in the science and technology sector, saying society must do more to harness the creativity and innovation of all women and girls, by investing in inclusive STEM education and research, and structuring career paths in science and technology that do not exclude women and girls at any stage of their career. The President has also consistently argued that the benefits of research and scientific discoveries must be shared equitably and made available to poorer nations - a point the President reiterated throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, where access to vaccines to date has been very unevenly spread among countries.

In this AM Live episode, Dr Helen Maynard-Casely talks about exploring the solar system on the eve of the United Nations Day of Women and Girls In Science on 11 February. “I know why I’m a scientist: when I was 8 the very first British person in space was a woman called Helen Sharman, and I wandered up to see my dad after hearing this momentous news and said “Dad - I’m going to space because that’s what Helens do.” I really can’t tell you how important that moment was for me - it drove me to be a scientist and to want to explore space.”
