On parie ? Ce sera pas avant un moment… mais une fois sur la Lune, il faudra surtout pas faire les clowns et gaffer comme sur Terre. Qu'on soit jeune, vieux, un homme, une femme, blanc·he, noir·e, riche ou pas... on doit tous pouvoir avoir une bonne raison de faire la fête ensemble ! Parce que d'ici là (et Laura en est convaincue), si on se pose les bonnes questions, on pourrait avoir droit à un monde plus solidaire que jamais. À quoi donc ressemblera l'humanité d'ici là ? Comment se servir correctement de la technologie ? Et où nous mènera-t-elle ?Dans cet avant-dernier épisode, Laura Felpin s'entretient avec l'astronome Fatoumata Kebe, l'entrepreneuse Jean Guo, co-fondatrice et directrice générale de Konexio, ainsi que deux spécialistes des enjeux liés à la science, au futur et a ses représentations, rattachées à la Maison Blanche : Dr Alondra Nelson Directrice Adjointe de l'Office of Science and Technology Policy et Dr Jedidah Isler astrophysicienne qui accompagne les questions liées à la diversité au sein du même service.

The most effective mentoring relationships happen when the relationship is mutually beneficial to all parties. Dr. Jedidah Isler found this as she gave and received significant support at historically black universities, and when she lacked support at predominantly white institutions. As she earned degrees in these different environments, she discovered mentoring is a necessary skill, as is knowing what you need as a mentee. In this episode, Dr. Jedidah Isler tells her story of how her career in astrophysics shaped her development and approach to mentorship. Through times of consistent support and in times where support lacked, Dr. Isler discovered what effective mentoring is. Dr. Isler shares about the obstacles marginalized students face in higher education, the different roles of mentors, and how effective and culturally responsive mentorship can expand what's possible for marginalized students and STEM fields altogether. Astrophysicist Dr. Jedidah Isler studies hyperactive, supermassive black holes as an assistant professor at Dartmouth College. She is an award-winning scholar and speaker who works at the intersections of science and social justice. She is also the creator and founder of VanguardSTEM, an online platform and monthly series that focuses on women and non-binary people of color in STEM. She founded VanguardSTEM's parent foundation, The STEM en Route to Change (SeRCH) Foundation, Inc., which uses social media to build community and resources for Black, Indigenous, Women and Non-Binary People of Color in STEM. Dr. Isler is also a co-author of the paper: Defining the Flow—Using an Intersectional Scientific Methodology to Construct a VanguardSTEM Hyperspace.To learn more about the Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM report, and for a guide to implementing best practices at your institution, visit NAS.edu/mentoring.

Jocelyn Bell Burnell talks through her professional history, from overcoming imposter syndrome as a graduate student in Cambridge to discovering pulsars, getting passed over for a Nobel Prize, inspiring Joy Division to make one of the most iconic album covers of all time, and doing her best to lift up women and people of color interested in graduate work in astronomy. Jocelyn Bell Burnell inadvertently discovered pulsars as a graduate student in radio astronomy in Cambridge, opening up a new branch of astrophysics – work recognized by the award of a Nobel Prize to her supervisor. She has subsequently worked in many roles in many branches of astronomy, working part-time while raising a family. She is now a Visiting Professor in Oxford, and the Chancellor of the University of Dundee, Scotland. She has chaired, served on, or serviced more Research Council Boards, Committees and Panels than she wishes to remember, and has also chaired a European Community Committee. She has been President of the Royal Astronomical Society, in 2008 became the first female President of the Institute of Physics and in 2014 the first female President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. She was one of the small group of women scientists that set up the Athena SWAN scheme. She has received many honours, including a $3M Breakthrough Prize in 2018. The public appreciation and understanding of scinece have always been important to her, and she is much in demand as a speaker and broadcaster. In her spare time she gardens, listens to choral music and is active in the Quakers. She has co-edited an anthology of poetry with an astronomical theme – Dark Matter: Poems of Space. Jedidah Isler is an Astrophysicist and Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Dartmouth College. An advocate for diversity in STEM, she was Yale University's first African-American woman to earn a PhD in Astrophysics. In 2015, Isler founded Vanguard: Conversations with Women of Color in STEM. She gave an inspiring TED talk on the urgent need for diversity in STEM and science. To watch the video of this talk, please visit youtube.com/googlezeitgeist.
The past few years have ushered in an explosion of new discoveries about our universe. This hour, TED speakers explore the implications of these advances — and the lingering mysteries of the cosmos. Guests include theoretical physicist Allan Adams, planetary scientist Sara Seager, and astrophysicists Natasha Hurley-Walker and Jedidah Isler.
Een oneindig klein punt dat alles in zijn buurt opslokt: zwarte gaten zijn een mysterieus verschijnsel in het heelal. Toch is het wetenschappers gelukt een zwart gat te fotograferen. Althans: de scháduw van een zwart gat. Hoe kregen ze dat voor elkaar? En eindigt de aarde ook ooit in een zwart gat?Presentatie: Gemma Venhuizen, Hendrik Spiering en Eddy EchternachProductie: Misha Melita@hendrikspiering // @GemmaJVLees hier het interview van Marcel aan den Brugh met Heino Falcke: https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2019/04/19/man-van-het-zwarte-gat-god-is-het-begin-en-het-eind-a3957571Bekijk hier de hele TED talk van Jedidah Isler: https://www.ted.com/talks/view?language=enLees hier wat Eddy Echternach schreef over de eerste foto van een zwart gat: https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2019/04/10/dit-is-de-allereerste-foto-van-de-schaduw-van-een-zwart-gat-a3956397

DeRay, Brittany, Sam and Clint are live from National Geographic HQ in Washington, D.C. to discuss race and science, MLK, Maya Angelou, and the news, and DeRay has a conversation about black holes, women in STEM and race and genetics with Nat Geo explorers Jedidah Isler and Keolu Fox.
Kimberlee Kelly and Allison Hendrick make space to nerd out over their love for the cosmos and the groundbreaking work of two remarkable astrophysicists, Dr. Jedidah Isler and Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell.
The past few years have ushered in an explosion of new discoveries about our universe. This hour, TED speakers explore the implications of these advances — and the lingering mysteries of the cosmos.

Jedidah Isler dreamt of becoming an astrophysicist since she was a young girl, but the odds were against her: At that time, only 18 black women in the United States had ever earned a PhD in a physics-related discipline. In this personal talk, she shares the story of how she became the first black woman to earn a PhD in astrophysics from Yale -- and her deep belief in the value of diversity to science and other STEM fields. "Do not think for one minute that because you are who you are, you cannot be who you imagine yourself to be," she says. "Hold fast to those dreams and let them carry you into a world you can't even imagine." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Jedidah Isler is the first African American woman to earn a doctorate in astrophysics from Yale University. She shares her perspective on the value of HBCUs and a primer for lay people on astrophysics.
