When you consider someone's legacy in science, you might think about their biggest discovery, their list of publications, or their titles, awards, and prizes. But another kind of scientific legacy involves the students and colleagues that passed through a scientist's orbit over the course of a career.A new book, The Elements of Marie Curie: How the Glow of Radium Lit a Path for Women in Science, takes a look at the legacy of Madame Marie Curie, one of the most recognizable names in science history. But instead of looking only at Curie's own life, author Dava Sobel views her through the lens of some of the 45 women who trained in Curie's lab during her research into radioactivity.Ira Flatow talks with Sobel about her research into Curie's life, some of the anecdotes from the book, and how she interacted with some of her lab assistants and colleagues.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

500 scientists from 60 countries gathered at the 5th Global Food Security Conference in Leuven, Belgium. Instead of saying, "you had to be there," we bring you voices and reflections from the conference. Host Matthew Kessler recorded dozens of interviews, asking experts what key messages they want to deliver to those with the power to change food systems, what are the economics of food systems transformation, and which solutions to make food systems more resilient deserve more attention. This is Part 3 of a 3-part series, featuring six of the seven women scientists from the Global South awarded the 2023 OWSD-Elsevier Foundation Awards. This year's focus was on Food security. This episode was made with the support from ‘shout it out', an instrument of the Global Minds program.For more info and resources, visit: https://tabledebates.org/podcast/episode65Help nurture food debates and take TABLE's 2024 surveyWatch the video featuring the Award Winning scientistsGuestsCarla Fabiana Crespo Melgar, Researcher at Universidad Mayor de San AndrésEugenie Kayitesi, Prof at University of PretoriaYeyinou Laura Estelle Loko, Researcher at the National University for Science, Technology and Mathematic in the Republic of BeninMunkhjargal Tserendorj, Researcher at Mongolian University of Life SciencesRenuka Attanayake, Prof at University of KelaniyaHaneen Dwaib, Chairwoman of Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics Department at Palestine Ahliya UniversityConference OrganizersElsevierKU LeuvenWageningen University and ResearchTABLEEpisode edited and produced by Matthew Kessler.

As we prepare for the historic emergence of two broods of cicadas, we unearth the story of the often forgotten woman behind a key cicada discovery.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Women and people of color have often been hidden figures in STEM, with their important contributions going unrecognized. In honor of Women's History Month, Karen Horting, CEO and executive director of SWE, sat down with Dr. Jess Wade, physicist and faculty member at Imperial College London, who has been working to change this. Dr. Wade has created thousands of Wikipedia pages that highlight the achievements of women scientists and engineers. In this episode, she shares her own STEM journey, the inspiration behind her Wikipedia initiative and the unexpected surprises she has learned along the way. You'll also hear her tips for listeners who want to increase the visibility of underrepresented communities in STEM fields — on Wikipedia and beyond.

You might have heard of Einstein and Newton and Galileo, but can you name the woman whose work led to the discovery of the Big Bang, or the woman who toppled one of the most fundamental laws of physics, or the woman who landed a probe on a comet. Women have contributed to every major discovery ever made in physics and astronomy. Shohini Ghose thinks it's time to rewrite our history books to tell the full story.

This is the ninth episode in our series Women Scientists. This episode is about Rita Levi-Montalcini, a neurobiologist whose work helped change our perception of the nervous system. For more episodes, visit our podcast website https://anchor.fm/imaginebrite.

This is the eighth episode in our series Women Scientists. This episode is about Dorothy Hodgkin, a chemist whose discoveries saved innumerous lives. For more episodes, visit our podcast website https://anchor.fm/imaginebrite.

Shohini Ghose – Her Space, Her Time: How trailblazing women scientists decoded the hidden Universe...with TRE's Hannah Murray

What is it like to be a woman scientist in India? Why don't we see enough of them? If you're quick to point the superstar ones, sadly they're not always the norm. In fact, research has shown that women in academia are expected to be much more competent than their male counterparts to be considered for the same role. It's this bias that got Aashima Dogra and Nandita Jayaraj to start ‘The Life of Science' web portal to document stories of regular women in science, and the systemic bias they fight in their everyday lives. Having began their journey in 2016, it has now given rise to their book ‘Lab Hopping: A Journey to find India's Women in Science'. Backed by research, it makes the reader come to terms with unsettling facts plaguing Indian academia, when it comes to gender and caste diversity. In our conversation, we bring some of these issues to light and what can be done to remedy it.

Women scientists have long played leading roles in science....but in many cases, their accomplishments have gone unrecognized. A new book by a prominent Canadian physicist aims to change that. We speak with the author who's a professor of physics at Wilfrid Laurier University and CTO at the Quantum Algorithms Institute in British Columbia. (Anthony Germain with Shohini Ghose)

While many people believe science and politics should be kept separate, politics is deeply ingrained in science. Be it through funding agendas, cultural lobbies or personal bias – politics can shape the science in many ways. In this week's episode, both of our storytellers share tales about when politics and science meet. Part 1: Scientist Gretchen Goldman struggles to protect the data and integrity of science under the new Trump administration. Part 2: Journalist Liz Landau feels the wrath of the internet when she covers a study about women and their voting preferences. Dr. Gretchen Goldman is the Climate Change Research and Technology Director at the US Department of Transportation. Previously, Dr. Goldman served at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy as the Assistant Director for Environmental Science, Engineering, Policy, and Justice, where she led Federal efforts on scientific integrity, Indigenous Knowledge, climate and equity, air quality, and environmental justice. Dr. Goldman spent a decade as the Research Director for the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists, where she led research and policy efforts on climate, environmental, and science policy decision-making. She has testified before Congress, sat on the board of 500 Women Scientists, and chaired the Air and Climate Public Advisory Committee for the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. In 2022, Dr. Goldman made the Georgia Tech alumni 40 Under 40 List and was named in Glamour Magazine's Women of the Year in 2020. Dr. Goldman holds a PhD and MS in environmental engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a BS in atmospheric science from Cornell University.

Quantum physicist Shohini Ghose, author of "Her Space, Her Time," throws a spotlight on more than a dozen women physicists and astronomers who didn't get the recognition they deserved.

On today's episode, I'm talking to Associate Professor and Researcher Dr. Elaine Choung-Hee Lee about celebrating our strengths.Dr. Lee is an Associate Professor, Director of Research Support, and Director of the Human Performance Laboratory in the Department of Kinesiology at UConn. She's also the first Dean's Leadership Fellow for UConn's College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources. Dr. Lee studies the cellular and integrative physiology responses to stress and adaptation to stress. She was a former NCAA Division 1 Rower and Coach and pursued study and research in exercise, nutrition, and 'omics to understand how to help individuals enhance resiliency and performance. While it is hard to imagine that Elaine would ever be doing something else, it took her a long time to figure out the direction of her career. It wasn't until she discovered how much easier it was to study and learn about topics that clicked with her that she came to realize how important it is to celebrate our strengths.We talk about:Her journey of discovering what she was really interested in and how she had to break down her expectations for what her career was supposed to look like. How she pushed her whole department forward by providing a new perspective and new tools, even though, on paper, she could have looked out of place. The extra stress that women take on in the workplace when they are automatically assigned the role of “kind person” or “caretaker” and how hard it is to step away from that.You can find the show notes and more resources at https://madamathlete.comKeep an eye out for new content or let us know what you'd like to see next by following us on social:Instagram: @theMadamAthleteFacebook: @MadamAthleteTwitter: @MadamAthlete

Dr. Emily Jacobs is an Associate Professor of Psychological & Brain Sciences and the director of the Ann S. Bowers Women's Health Initiative at University of California, Santa Barbara. She received her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley, and her BA in Neuroscience from Smith College. Prior to UCSB, she was an instructor at Harvard Medical School and at the Department of Medicine/Division of Women's Health at Brigham & Women's Hospital.  In this episode we discuss the pioneering work of Dr. Jacobs and her group in leveraging brain imaging, computation, and endocrine approaches to deepen our understanding of the influence of sex hormones on the central nervous system across spatial and temporal scales. She discusses her group's work using structural and functional neuroimaging methods to explore how the brain changes in response to endogenous hormonal changes, such as across the menstrual cycle, during menopause, or across pregnancy, as well as to exogenous hormones via oral hormonal contraceptives. Through the Ann S. Bowers Women's Health Initiative, Dr. Jacobs and her group are working towards creating a population-level brain imaging dataset to advance our understanding of women's brain health across the lifespan.   Dr. Jacobs also shared her journey into neuroscience research, her thoughts on how science can inform public policy, and talked about her groups' efforts to improve girls' representation in STEM by partnering with K-12 groups. This work was featured in the book STEMinists: The Lifework of 12 Women Scientists and Engineers.  At OHBM 2023, Dr. Jacobs will highlight the power of sex steroid hormones and the role that they play in shaping the brain over multiple timescales, drawing attention to some of the reasons why it has taken the field so long to focus on women's brain health.

The reputation that fairytales have received over the past years precedes itself, which is precisely what made Michelle fall in love with it. She loved the rich imaginary of it all and as she started to also tell more and more of these fairytales, she found her voice changing and herself moving into this interior landscape that was rich in imagery and in human experience. So many of these stories start with wounds, descents, and struggles, like reflective mirrors where she could see her experience in these stories. As she delved deeper into fairytale, the morse she realized that all around the world, people have told these kinds of stories and that there are similar patterns across countries and continents. These stories are all coming out of a human experience; we are all part of one human experience and these stories precisely reflect our shared human experiences. Michelle Tocher has been writing and telling warm, poignant, and humane stories often from a woman's perspective. She is the author of the celebrated book “How to Ride a Dragon: Women With Breast Cancer Tell Their Stories”. She has recently published the lauded “The Tower Princess” as well as her new play “The Departure Train”. She has had a long career in communications and storytelling as President of Creative Premise LTD., a 10-year Toronto-based health communications company. She produced books and films for many organizations and community leaders, including The Canadian Pediatric Society, the Canadian Career Development Foundation, and the Women Scientists of Waterloo.

In 1989, Oprah Winfrey produced and starred in the two-part TV miniseries, The Women of Brewster Place, which was based on Gloria Naylor's award-winning debut novel. The book, and the movie, explore a variety of personal issues and social themes faced by seven African American women who live in an urban housing project.   When, just for fun, we asked the new artificial intelligence software, ChatGPT, to connect Oprah's cultural influence with themes from the book/movie, the AI chatbot got it… sort of right. Sort of. It dispassionately summarized many of the challenges faced by the women in the story. And it mentioned Oprah's commitment to highlighting personal and social issues. But ChatGPT failed to find the essential storyline.   And it's no wonder. The online content about The Women of Brewster Place neglects the underlying racism that's at work when urban planners and policymakers target the destruction of specific neighborhoods in the name of progress. As long as history is “written by the victors,” the online trough that feeds artificial intelligence will prevent AI, and the people who rely on it, from making the most crucial connections of all.   MENTIONS AND REFERENCES  We encourage you to visit your local bookseller or library.   Book by Gloria Naylor - The Women of Brewster Place Movie on YouTube - The Women of Brewster Place People Magazine Article - Oprah Goes Hollywood Book by Carol Stabile, PhD - The Broadcast 41 Podcast Series (first of four) - Calculated Efforts to Preserve Power: TV Women Blacklisted Vulture Article - 30 Years Ago, The Women of Brewster Place Cracked Open the Door for Queer TV Vice Article - I've Made More Than 1,700 Wikipedia Entries on Women Scientists and I'm Not Yet Done   CONNECT WITH CYNTHIA BEMIS ABRAMS and ADVANCED TV HERSTORY   Website Podcasts Instagram  Twitter Facebook  YouTube

This is the podcast You May Contribute a Verse, where we talk to kidlit creators, share their stories, and learn from their journeys. Is this a nonfiction podcast? I've never thought about it that way, but the more we talked to today's guest Jocelyn Rish about her book Battle of the Butts – and her journey into nonfiction – the more we realized that we're here just like Jocelyn, to inform and educate, but also to entertain and laugh! Jocelyn's been writing for a long time. Like many of us, she's written a lot that she's back-pocketed, and like many of us should strive to, she's found some really fun success by staying open to inspiration, and affectionately pinching inspiration's butt when it came a-calling. Battle of the Butts is what's resulted, followed at the end of this year by its semi-sequel, the nonfictional Battle of the Brains. There's so much to this chat that's just pure delight. I'm really happy to share Jocelyn's journey through self-discovery, publication, self-promotion, nerding out with scientists, and more.

In this episode, Ayesha spoke about some of the top women leaders in life science industries in celebration of International Women's Day. While women remain underrepresented in STEM and life science industries, there are more women in leadership positions at pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies than ever before. Studies also show that women's leadership training programs provide effective training for women seeking executive-level positions. The editorial team also shared some of their experiences and insights as women in the life sciences. The editorial team also learned about the FDA approval of a new CAR T cell therapy developed by Johnson & Johnson and Legend Biotech for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The drug, called Carvykti, is administered as a single infusion and indicated for patients who have not responded to previous treatments. The cell therapy has a list price of almost half a million dollars due to the high development costs of cell therapies, but makers say the clinical benefit they offer is worth the price. Most insurers and Medicare will cover the cost of Carvykti.Read the full articles here: Looking at Women's Leadership in Life Science Industries on International Women's DayJohnson & Johnson's Carvykti Becomes Second FDA Approved Cell Therapy for Multiple MyelomaFor more life science and medical device content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social MediaTwitter: @Xtalks Instagram: @Xtalks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured

Even in 2022 women in science are ridiculously rare. Less than 30% of the world's researchers are women. The impact that this overwhelming bias has can be felt across sectors from the lack of focus on women's health, or reproductive issues, to the algorithmic biases found in AI that has been developed overwhelmingly by men. For years different groups have attempted to address the problem with programs like the Association for Women in Science (AWIS), the United Nations' International Day of Women and Girls in Science, and so many others. The barriers to entry are complex, and the solutions need more than mere representation (though that makes a huge difference). Ilke Demir is an AI research scientist who is not only on the front lines of technology and scientific discovery, but also trying to find new ways to tackle this old problem. In this interview Ilke talks about the realities of life in science for women, the good and the bad. She talks through her solutions, and her frustrations. She also talks just about technology. Want to know if AI is about to take over the world? Is Skynet a real threat? Ilke talks about all that and more. As you listen to her insights, and find yourself impressed with the depth of her knowledge try to keep in mind how much harder it was for her to get to where she is - just because she's a woman, and then consider what you might do to help.

But also they don't want consumers to be locked into fossil fuels contracts.Oil falls on positive signals from U.S.-Iran talkshttps://www.reuters.com/business/energy/oil-falls-after-signs-progress-us-iran-nuclear-talks-2022-02-07/Iran deal with oil sanctions relief not a sure bet despite latest US waiver: analystshttps://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/market-insights/latest-news/oil/020722-iran-deal-with-oil-sanctions-relief-not-a-sure-bet-despite-latest-us-waiver-analystsInterview with Christine Williams and Gaslighted: How the Oil and Gas Industry Shortchanges Women Scientists- most research done on women scientists leaving oil and gas industry was about people reflecting on why they left the industry. This study follows them in real time.- targeting women for layoffs happens in all fields but especially acute in oil because of boom and bust- changing culture of layoffs or change biases of managers that work against women scientists?- mothers are particularly targeted by biased views. "motherhood penalty." Of women who lost jobs, so many were mothers of young children. Why are mothers targeted? Meanwhile fathers are protected from layoffs.- female entrepreneurship is the silver lining- culture of layoffs breeds "culture of yes men" in industry so its particularly acute in oil industry. Culture of layoffs breeds culture of conformity.

Three biologists speak about a scientific paper written by 24 women academics on how the way in which scientific careers are assessed works against women and minorities. From language barriers, number of citations, inadequate mentoring to lack of funding for publications, a myriad of factors determine how successful a scientific career is. These women are looking to promote more inclusive metrics of success.They give a fascinating inside in the scientific community and how papers are published, the biaises that exists, the difficulty of accessing funding, the importance of a great mentor and much more!I would love to hear any comments you might have on this episode and respond to any questions.

In this episode, I converse with Dr. Wendy Bohon, a Geologist and Senior Science Communication Specialist for the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), who studies earthquakes and works to improve the communication of hazard and risk before, during and after rapid onset geologic hazards. Wendy is an AAAS If/Then Ambassador and has served on the Executive Leadership Board of 500 Women Scientists. She has worked on many tectonics-related projects in her career, including the B4 LiDAR project in Southern California, climate and tectonics studies in Northwestern Argentina, GPS deployment projects in Bolivia, thrust fault studies in Argentina, and the tectonic evolution of the southwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau in India. Wendy's research uses geochronology, thermochronology, paleoseismology, geomorphology, remote sensing, and geologic mapping to understand the spatial and temporal evolution of fault systems. We indulge in a great conversation on her interesting and slightly unconventional journey in science; grad school and confronting the ubiquitous imposter syndrome; the critical importance of lucid science communication in combatting the pressing challenges of the day; engaging communities on the ground; terrific mentors who have inspired her; anthropogenic climate change; and many more things!!
