Professor Lisa Harvey-Smith, Astrophysicist & Australian Government Women in STEM Ambassador at UNSW on propelling the pathways for young women in STEM, how influential family and community are when it comes to engaging children in a more gender-balanced way.   Key Insights (01:55) How did she start her leadership journey? Lisa started her leadership journey through science and research. As Lisa stepped up the ranks in her field, she started to mentor students and work on large international projects such as building telescopes like the Square Kilometer Array (the world's most powerful radio telescope) involving collaboration from around the world. (10:53) How does Lisa use the role of storytelling in shifting societal biases and how is she embedding this in her Initiative, Future You? Future You is a national awareness raising initiative to help young people understand the different pathways STEM skills can take them. Future You shares the stories of role models from different backgrounds to show young people STEM really is for everyone. By showing a diverse examples of career journeys it allow kids to use their imagination when picturing a future in STEM instead of a particular career path. For example, it explores how technology can bring a unique perspective in the work of First Nations women or, how STEM could also mean getting your hands dirty as a heavy vehicle mechanic. (23:27) What tools can Lisa share to the audience to add to their Leadership Toolbox? To focus on the big picture and identify what's truly important to you and to your organization. By cutting out the dead wood and understanding the core of an issue, you can then effectively articulate a vision and course of action for your organisation.   Important Resources and Links If you'd like to learn more about how CommBank is supporting the growth of women in business visit https://www.commbank.com.au/women-in-focus.html   Host of the Leading Women podcast, Shivani Gopal is a serial entrepreneur, speaker and advocate on a mission to create a more equal world.

Dr. Lisa Harvey-Smith was born in Essex, England, left school at 11 and taught herself at home, where she developed a great passion for astronomy. The home schooling paid off because she went on to earn a Master's degree in Physics with Honours in Astronomy and Astrophysics and a Ph.D. in Radio Astronomy, before embarking on a professional career as an Astrophysicist, Astronomer and Educator (she's a Professor), becoming a world-renowned author, researcher, speaker and easy-to-understand science communicator. Honestly, considering my vast lack of knowledge regarding all-things-astronomy, going in I was a little worried about holding an interesting conversation with someone at the opposite end of the knowledge scale but the Prof. was simultaneously fascinating, funny, real and super interesting.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Under The Night Sky Brian Cox and Robin Ince discover the importance of the night sky to human history and how our relationship with the stars has changed over the centuries. They are joined by star-gazer Jon Culshaw, astronaut Tim Peake, astrophysicist Lisa Harvey-Smith and astronomy writer Stuart Clark as they chart the changing nature of our relationship with the sky above us. They discuss ancient cave paintings depicting Orion's belt, the astronomical revolution that came with our understanding of how planets orbit the Sun, and how astronauts like Tim who have "touched the sky" have seen the stars in a totally unique way. Has our ever expanding knowledge about the stars twinkling above us removed some of the magic, or have modern missions and the incredible images of space we now see brought us closer, quite literally, to the sky above us?
