Episode: 2480 Stephanie Kwolek: Inventor of Kevlar.  Today, not-so-shining armor.

Diese Frau ist unsere persönliche Superheldin. Denn sie erschuf eine der stärksten Fasern der Welt. Durch viel Tüftelei und Überzeugungsarbeit schaffte sie es, ein hitzebeständiges, kugelsicheres und trotzdem leichtes Material zu erstellen, das heute noch in kugelsicheren Westen genutzt wird und wahrscheinlich tausenden Menschen das Leben gerettet hat. Damit ging sie nicht nur in die " National Inventors Hall of Fame", sondern auch in die Chemie-Geschichte ein. Wir finden: Sie verdient einen Platz im Marvel-Universum! Hier werden die unglaublichen Kräfte in den Kevlar Fasern erklärt: https://bit.ly/4fAeTEi Willkommen zu unserem True Science-Podcast! Wir reden über die absurden, irren, romantischen und verworrenen Geschichten hinter Entdeckungen und Erfindungen. Denn in der Wissenschaft gibt es jede Menge Gossip! Wir erzählen zum Beispiel, wie die Erfinderin des heutigen Schwangerschaftstests mit Hilfe einer Büroklammerbox den Durchbruch schaffte, oder wie eine Hollywood-Schauspielerin den Grundstein für unser heutiges WLAN legte. Immer samstags - am Science-Samstag. Wir, das sind Marie Eickhoff und Luisa Pfeiffenschneider. Wir haben Wissenschaftsjournalismus studiert und die Zeit im Labor schon immer lieber zum Quatschen genutzt.

You don't need to be a doctor to save lives! Aarati goes into the life of a headstrong fashion designer-turned-chemist, who created polymer based fabrics like spandex, polyester, and Kevlar.For more information and sources for this episode, visit https://www.smartteapodcast.com.

Geboren im Jahr 1923, entwickelte Stephanie Kwolek bereits in ihrer Kindheit eine Leidenschaft für die Wissenschaft. Ihr Chemiestudium führte sie zu einer Karriere bei DuPont, wo ihre Forschungen zu Polymeren schließlich zur Entdeckung von Kevlar führten, einem Material, das sich durch außerordentliche Reißfestigkeit und Hitzebeständigkeit auszeichnet und vielfältige Anwendungen in Sicherheitsausrüstung und darüber hinaus findet. Stephanie Kwoleks Engagement beschränkte sich nicht nur auf ihre eigenen Forschungen; sie setzte sich auch vehement für die Förderung junger Wissenschaftlerinnen ein. Ihre Bemühungen wurden vielfach ausgezeichnet, unter anderem mit der National Medal of Technology. Kwoleks Vermächtnis als Pionierin der Materialwissenschaft und Vorbild für nachfolgende Generationen von Wissenschaftlern bleibt durch ihre Entdeckungen und die von ihr inspirierten Menschen lebendig. "Historische Heldinnen" lässt mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz wichtige Frauen der Weltgeschichte auf ihr eigenes Leben zurückblicken. Selbstbewusst erzählen sie uns von ihrem Mut und ihrer Durchsetzungskraft.Viertausendhertz 2024 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Le nom de Stephanie Kwolek ne vous dit peut-être rien, mais vous avez forcément déjà entendu parler du Kevlar. Chimiste de talent, malheureusement peu reconnue de son vivant, Stephanie Kwolek a pourtant sauvé des dizaines, probablement des milliers de vie grâce à son invention, et permis à l'entreprise DuPont de générer des milliards de dollars, dont elle ne verra jamais un centime. Aujourd'hui, nous rendons hommage à celle sans qui le gilet pare-balle serait resté un accessoire aussi fantastique que la cape d'invisibilité.

Zu Beginn von Folge 16 regt sich Juni erstmal wieder auf; diesmal darüber, dass Nobelpreisträger*innen häufig auf ein „Wissenspodest“ gestellt werden, obwohl sie natürlich nicht in allem Expert*in sind. Stephanie Kwolek wollte eigentlich Medizin studieren, ist dann aber doch in der industriellen Chemie geblieben und hat sich mit Kunststoffen beschäftigt. Mit ihrer Erfindung hat sie trotzdem Menschenleben gerettet und nebenbei auch noch ein tolles Experiment für den Schulunterricht entwickelt. Carolyn Bertozzi ist vielen seit neuestem bekannt, da sie den diesjährigen Chemie-Nobelpreis gewonnen hat. Diesen hat sie für die Entwicklung und Prägung des Bereichs der bioorthogonalen Chemie bekommen. Aber auch sozial ist sie sehr engagiert und setzt sich für die Gleichbehandlung aller Menschen unabhängig ihres Geschlechts, ihrer Herkunft, Religion und Sexualität ein. Außerdem neu eingeführt: die temporäre Rubrik „Juniversity“, in der Juni vom neuen Uni Alltag berichtet.

Here's a simple challenge: name a famous inventor. Perhaps Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci springs to mind. Or the pioneer of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell. But you might be hard-pressed to name many female inventors, even though women are behind some of the most widely used technologies in the modern world.这是一个简单的挑战：命名一位著名的发明家。也许文艺复兴时期的博学家列奥纳多·达·芬奇会浮现在脑海中。或者电话的先驱亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔。但是你可能很难说出许多女性发明家的名字，尽管女性是现代世界一些最广泛使用的技术的幕后推手。For example, where would we be without the windscreen wiper? Back on a freezing winter's day in 1902, Mary Anderson was travelling by tram through New York city. Snow was falling, forcing the driver to stop repeatedly and get out to clear it. Each time the door opened, Mary suffered a gust of sub-zero air. She had a brainwave: why not make some kind of a rubber blade that could be operated from inside the vehicle? And that's exactly what she did. 例如，如果没有挡风玻璃雨刷器，我们会在哪里？回到 1902 年一个寒冷的冬日，玛丽·安德森乘坐电车穿越纽约市。雪在下，迫使司机反复停车并下车清理。每次门打开，玛丽都会遭受一阵低于零的空气。她有一个脑波：为什么不制造某种可以在车内操作的橡胶刀片呢？而这正是她所做的。Let's step in from freezing New York for our next invention. The dishwasher dates back even earlier to the 19th Century, and to the dinner parties thrown by a lady called Josephine Cochrane. As a frequent host, she wanted a machine that could wash dishes faster than people. Her response was to develop what was to become the first commercially successful dishwasher. Interestingly, innovation was in her blood: her grandfather had invented the steamboat. 让我们从寒冷的纽约踏入我们的下一个发明。洗碗机的历史可以追溯到更早的 19 世纪，以及一位名叫 Josephine Cochrane 的女士举办的晚宴。作为常客，她想要一台洗碗速度比人还快的机器。她的反应是开发成为第一台商业上成功的洗碗机。有趣的是，她的血液里流淌着创新：她的祖父发明了汽船。Need something to do while the dishwasher is whirring away? How about a round of Monopoly? One of the most popular board games around, the rules were first drawn up by a lady called Elizabeth Magie, and patented in 1904. Her intention was to create a game to highlight what she saw as the pitfalls of capitalism. It was originally called The Landlord's Game. 洗碗机运转时需要做点什么吗？一轮垄断怎么样？作为最受欢迎的棋盘游戏之一，规则首先由一位名叫伊丽莎白玛姬的女士制定，并于 1904 年获得专利。她的目的是创造一款游戏来突出她所看到的资本主义陷阱。它最初被称为房东的游戏。To an altogether different kind of innovation: Kevlar is the lightweight fibre used in bulletproof vests. The material is used by millions every day and has saved countless lives. The super tough fabric is also used in objects ranging from gloves to aeroplanes to wind turbines. Incredibly, its strength-to-weight ratio is five times higher than steel. Again, it was invented by a woman, the American chemist Stephanie Kwolek, in 1964. 一种完全不同的创新：Kevlar 是用于防弹背心的轻质纤维。该材料每天被数百万人使用，并挽救了无数生命。这种超坚韧的织物也用于从手套到飞机到风力涡轮机的各种物品。令人难以置信的是，它的强度重量比是钢的五倍。再一次，它是由一位女性、美国化学家 Stephanie Kwolek 在 1964 年发明的。Finally, one of the most important inventions of the 20th Century must surely be the computer programme. The world of programming is notoriously unbalanced in terms of gender. Men vastly outnumber women, and take home around 30% more pay than their female counterparts on average. But back in the 1940s and 50s, women were at the forefront of this new field. Grace Hopper is credited with inventing the first compiler in 1952, which serves as the bridge between code and the binary ones and zeros understood by computers.最后，20 世纪最重要的发明之一肯定是计算机程序。众所周知，编程世界在性别方面是不平衡的。男性的人数远远超过女性，平均而言，男性的工资比女性高出约 30%。但早在 1940 年代和 50 年代，女性就处于这一新领域的前沿。Grace Hopper 因在 1952 年发明了第一个编译器而受到赞誉，它充当了代码与计算机理解的二进制 1 和 0 之间的桥梁。词汇表polymath 博学者，博学的人spring to mind 突然呈现在脑海中pioneer 先锋hard-pressed （由于缺少时间）面临困难的where would we be without… 假如没有…我们将会是怎样的？windscreen wiper 雨刷器sub-zero 温度在零度以下的brainwave （突发的）灵感，妙计dishwasher 洗碗机throw (a party) 举办（聚会）in someone's blood 在某人的血液中，在骨子里whirr （洗衣机）发出嗡嗡声patent 注册专利权pitfall 陷阱bulletproof vest 防弹背心wind turbine 风力发电机notoriously 出了名地（负面），声名狼藉地gender 性别outnumber 在数量上压倒binary 二进位制

In this episode of the McKinsey Global Institute's Forward Thinking podcast, Janet Bush talks with British mathematician and technologist Anne‑Marie Imafidon, co-founder of Stemettes, a social initiative dedicated to inspiring and promoting the next generation of young women in STEM sectors. Imafidon invokes the “herstory” of stellar female technologists, such as Gladys West, who contributed to the development of GPS; Hedy Lamarr, whose work on frequency-hopping spectrum technology enabled Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; and Stephanie Kwolek, who created the first ultra-strong synthetic fibers, Kevlar being the best-known. In a rallying call for inclusion in a technologically driven world, Imafidon talks about persistent bias in data collection and algorithms that are making very big decisions that affect large parts of people's lives. The stakes are very, very high, and we need to get this right, she states. This conversation was recorded in February 2022.

Kevlarbydupont is a fourth level abjuration with a range of touch, a duration of an hour, requires concentration to maintain, and has a material requirement of a pinch of diamond power which the spell consumes.  However, synthetic powder works just as well with less cost. Kevlarbydupont makes the flesh of a living creature resistant to cutting and piercing while still being sensitive and flexible. Discovered in 1965 in Delaware by Stephanie Kwolek, the spell has become a staple in manufacturing and law enforcement.  When used with the spell Aakasmikata (uh-cause-mit-kuh), today's spell will activate the instant the skin is touched.  Kevarbydupont is fast enough to stop a bullet and save a saw operator from losing a finger.  Researches found that the spell is slightly less effective when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet light, but the effect is not noticeable.  The spell does not protect against heat, and should the skin be exposed to a temperature above 350 degrees, the spell will fail.  If you watch the whitewater slalom event during the Summer Olympics, you will see each athlete cast Kevlarbydupont as it has been a safety requirement since the readoption of the sport in 1992.

Stephanie Kwolek (1923-2014) used her creativity in chemistry to create something miraculous. Her discovery has saved thousands of lives and without her innovation, everything from drumheads to bridges to body-armor wouldn't be the same as we know them today.Special thanks to LinkedIn as our exclusive Women's History Month sponsor on Womanica.

Kevlar is widely known for its use in "bullet proof vests," but there is a lot more to it! In addition to this life-saving use, it is used for a number of other items thanks to its high heat resistance and high tensile strength. We looked into how Kevlar was created by Stephanie Kwolek while working at DuPont, the science behind its production, the different types of Kevlar out there, and a number of other uses including tires, tennis racket strings, and more.

Stephanie Kwolek is one of the world's most bad-ass chemists, as she worked in the 1960s at DuPont to create Kevlar, one of the strongest fibers in existence. Kevlar has saved thousands of lives with inventions such as bulletproof vests and parts of spaceships. Kwolek's journey was not an easy one, as she was continually passed over for a man. However, she is one of our unsung feminist heroes as she continued to pursue her career in science.

  It's "Of Memes and Men" on The Leftscape! One does not simply "talk about feelings" may be a meme-worthy sendup of a certain type of masculinity, but some men are diving into the difficult emotions and conversations. This week, John Tod talks about hosting and taking part in a men's group - a chance for men get together to explore and express the things they find most challenging, and to unlearn all that keeps them from their vulnerability. Later, co-hosts Mary McGinley, Wendy Sheridan, and Robin Renée bring women and transgender leaders they admire into the spotlight. They give props to Eleanor Roosevelt, engineer and musician Wendy Carlos, scientist Stephanie Kwolek, artist/scientist Julia Van Etten, and activists Brenda Howard, Marsha P. Johnson, and Sylvia Rivera. The news of the week was harsh with shocking mass shootings in New Zealand and Netherlands. After that and a few more serious topics, the conversation turns to a bit of humor via funny name memes inspired by Matthew Calamari and "Tim Apple." There are also oddball reasons to celebrate like Manatee Appreciation Day and National Joe Day (March 27th), Weed Appreciation Day (March 28th), and April Fool's Day (April 1st). March 29th is Vietnam Veterans Day and all of April is devoted to Jazz Appreciation, Mathematics Awareness, and NaPoWriMo. Birthday shout outs at the top of the show go to Mariah Carey, Quentin Tarantino, Lady Gaga, Eric Clapton, MC Hammer, Al Gore, plus the late Cesar Chavez and Marvin Gaye.
