Dr. Jessica Wade came from a family of brilliant scientific brains, so it's no wonder she dove head first into science, too.

In fact, statistically the UK's numbers of women in S.T.E.M. are some of the lowest in the world. Jess, however, was not deterred. She finished her studies and her career has blossomed - but even more impressive is the fact that she has also become one of the world's #1 champion of women in S.T.E.M.. She talks with students, families and teachers, she nominates women for awards and prizes left and write, she gives away dozens of copies of the book that inspired her to activate these activist superpowers,  but you'll never guess what her most powerful, and prolific, tool has been in her advocacy - WIKIPEDIA!

Jessica Wade is a physicist at Imperial College London who, while spending her day working on special carbon-based materials that can be used as semiconductors, has spent her nights writing nearly 2,000 Wikipedia entries about underrepresented figures in science. That, along with numerous other forms of public engagement—including writing a children's book about nanotechnology—is all in an effort to actually do something productive to correct gender and racial biases in STEM. She joined Tyler to discuss if there are any useful gender stereotypes in science, distinguishing between productive and unproductive ways to encourage women in science, whether science Twitter is biased toward men, how AI will affect gender participation gaps, how Wikipedia should be improved, how she judges the effectiveness of her Wikipedia articles, how she'd improve science funding, her work on chiral materials and its near-term applications, whether writing a kid's science book should be rewarded in academia, what she learned spending a year studying art in Florence, what she'll do next, and more.

Welcome to the Idaho Farm Bureau podcast, we're coming to you from our offices just a block away from the Idaho Statehouse. Pull up a chair, give us a listen, today's show is about a little Farm Bureau that could.Thanks for joining us I'm Jake Putnam. The Idaho Farm Bureau as far as State Farm Bureaus is not that big. States like California, Iowa, and Tennesse dwarf the Gem State. But the Idaho Farm Bureau casts a long shadow…at American back in Washington.Idaho Farm Bureau is gaining the reputation as the little farm bureau that could. Case in point, The American Farm Bureau Annual Meeting. Usually held at an exotic location somewhere in the USA, but this year because of Corona Virus held on Zoom. All through this great big meeting, Idahoans, People we all know kept popping up.There's Alan Clark out of Rigby, he's rancher and farmer, great guy, he was selected to serve a two-year term on the AFBF Promotion and Education Committee. That committee helps promote Ag as well as educate people, where their food comes from and they also are charged with telling people how their food is produced.Almost a decade ago I visited a young couple out in Downey and told everyone in the State office how impressed I was with them. Kyle and Jessica Wade have a custom cattle grazing, feeding, and calving operation, they were selected to serve a two-year term on AFBF's Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee. That committee plans YF&R programs and events. It's a huge deal for them and the Idaho Farm Bureau.The Idaho and American YF&R programs are designed to help develop the next generation of leaders in the ag industry by offering them opportunities to network and sharpen their public speaking and problem-solving skills during competitions and other events.So at this point, we're thinking…wow this little state has three Idahoans on the National Board…We're sending them the best and brightest, we not only produce the biggest and best potatoes, but the biggest, and brightest minds…and you'd think that's a great haul, but it's only the start…in competitions, Idahoans really came through:That's the YF&R discussion meet…this was the 4th round, the final four…Ricks has a good day—she takes home a Ford pickup..and the Idaho Farm Bureau wins too because one of our own wins another national discussion meet.Then there's the Ag Innovation challenge…an Idaho company, just farm members have an idea, start a company and make it to the final 4.I did this story:A couple of things about the Idaho Farm Bureau, the members are hard-working and you'll never hear the word can't.  A lot of overachievers and there's a lot of youth in this organization. This truly is the little Farm Bureau that can.Thanks for listening…for the voice of Idaho Agriculture, I'm Jake Putnam

  In Episode 1 of Series 6, Todd is talking with Dr. Nina Ansary an award-winning Iranian-American author, historian, and women's rights advocate. Nina is the UN Women Global Champion for Innovation and Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics Centre for Women, Peace & Security, and author of Anonymous Is a Woman: A Global Chronicle of Gender Inequality. They discuss the impact of the COVID19 pandemic on women's rights and on the citizens of Iran.   00.00 - 05.06   Todd begins by asking Nina for her reflections on the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on Iran. She comments that:  Covid 19 has served to exacerbate existing economic problems and far from supporting the population the regime has continued its crackdown on advocates for freedom and closer ties with the West  The health service is under severe strain not helped by the impact of sanctions resulting in shortages of medical equipment and medicines  Overall Iranians now feel more isolated than ever  While there are numerous organisations engaged in lobbying on human rights issues the international community could do more  The impact of Covid 19 has pushed human rights issues to the background  05.06 – 06.55  Todd moves on to ask Nina for her take on the existing nuclear power deal and US sanctions.   She argues that while the sanctions are not the cause of Iran's economic difficulties they have accelerated the impact of economic mismanagement and corruption, which has fallen on the people and not the regime or its leaders.    06.55 – 11.05   The discussion moves onto the impact of Covid 19 on women's rights. Prior to the pandemic, Nina says:   The advancement of women's rights was moving at a ‘glacial' pace.  Discrimination was present in a wide range of economic and political activity  Stereotyping of women was commonplace  The effect of the pandemic has been to exacerbate inequalities, expose vulnerabilities, encourage discriminatory practices, and set back the advancement of women's rights, in particular those who are most vulnerable and those who are marginalised. Nina notes that women have been losing employment at a disproportionate rate as a result of Covid 19. She concludes by referencing the Beijing World Conference on Women 1995 and the lack of progress made since then.   11.05 – 15.05   When asked about the impact of the pandemic on women in the USA Nina refers to existing reforms which have been too narrow and the need to “move beyond the reforms of the past” to create a more equitable future. Todd then asks whether Nina foresees a move to resurrect the Equal Rights Amendment in the USA (ERA).    In reply she points out that women in the USA are not united around this topic and that even within the ERA movement there was/is a tendency to fragment into different groups which is a limiting factor and an obstacle to reform.  15.05 – 19.40  Todd moves on to discuss Nina's work at the U.N. Appointed as a Global champion for innovation in 2019.  Her focus is to drive transformational change by,  Creating more opportunities for women and girls especially in technology and entrepreneurship  Raising awareness of barriers to progress  Highlighting women who have made significant contributions in those fields which have been overlooked downplayed or ignored. Nina refers to Dr. Jessica Wade who been challenging theses stereotyped b posting the names of women who have made significant contributions in the field of science.  Working towards equality in participation, representation and opportunity in those fields  Discrimination and stereotyping which serve to hold women back. Here she references the infamous post by Google engineer James Damores, whose internal memo suggested that women were biologically less capable of working in the fields of science and technology   19.40 – 21.25   Todd wonders whether it is time for a feminising of the curriculum in line with the decolonising the curriculum movement. Nina refers to gender mainstreaming as a major tool in moving away from entrenches stereotypes and unequal trajectories of development.    21.25 – end   Todd brings the discussion full circle by asking for Nina's thoughts on the current situation in Iran and to comment on the motivations of the state in its crackdown on women activists. Nina describes a regime that feels threatened by powerful women and enacts discriminatory policies in law as a means of enacting coercive control over women.  She cites the example of the incarceration of a prominent lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh for representing women's rights activists  In this way women are being denied access to legal defence by the state  Far from addressing what she sees to be the legitimate concerns of the Iranian people, instead, the regime is expending large sums on religious endowments and the funding of foreign terrorist organisations  Additional references  Impact of COVID on Iran  https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/iran/  https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/iran-the-double-jeopardy-of-sanctions-and-covid-19/
