I'm proud to be part of this international team trying to tell the story of Fanny Angelina Hesse. Yet another forgotten #WomanInSTEM - please support, if you can
Elana Araújo works in Advanced Computing at Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), FCCN unit.
In this piece, she shares her view on how the field has been developing and advancing in #Portugal - see, for example, the new #supercomputer Deucalion.
As a #WomanInSTEM, she speaks about building a more equitable workforce https://connect.geant.org/2024/03/27/driving-the-future-of-advanced-computing-a-female-perspective-on-stem
Also featured our latest magazine #CONNECT45: https://connect.geant.org/connect45
Today we are celebrating International Women's Day

O que a Hedy Lamarr fez pelo cinema e pela ciência deveria ser mais louvado e lembrado.
Minha esposa me mandou esse vídeo. Eu tinha ouvido essa história na época do mestrado e já tinha esquecido.
Boost pra chegar em mais pessoas
Happy Ada Lovelace day.
She was the first computer programmer and the first person to understand that computer could also be used for something like music.
Vor ein paar Tagen erst mit meinem Partner darüber gesprochen und heute wieder - das mich Head Hunter mit Herr statt Frau Marx anschreiben ist fast eher die Regel als die Ausnahme.
In meinem LinkedIn Profil steht mein Vorname sowie Pronomen.
Für mich ist das unfassbar respektlos, gerade in dem professionellen/beruflichen Kontext.
Wie sieht das bei anderen #Frauen in der #IT aus? Passiert das bei euch auch so häufig? Wie geht ihr damit um?
I figured it was finally time for a new #introduction post, so here goes.
Hi, I’m Deanna (they/them) . I’m nonbinary and genderfluid. I’ve moved around Europe a lot, before finding my home in #Finland. I have #misophonia and I’ve been dealing with #LongCovid since mid 2020.
I really enjoy #travelling, although with the #ClimateCrisis I try to minimise my carbon emissions when travelling. I love #music and #musicals, and I’m always happy to get recommendations. I also really like #baking and #cooking (mostly #vegan). Other interests include #DoctorWho and #origami.
I work as a physicist studying some of the cool stuff that happened in the early universe. I’m very passionate about science #outreach and I’ve been doing #cosmology livestreams - called #CupOfCosmology - since late 2015 (link in bio). I'm also open about my struggles with #MentalHealth in academia, and my experience as #LGBTQInSTEM and as a (perceived) #WomanInSTEM.
I love meeting new people, so feel free to follow and interact!
Killing it at work today btw!!
I was running a protocol I have not in this form done before (though similar protocols 6-7 years ago) for the first time, which is always a bit stressful I find. It takes ages to find everything I need & it's not so fluent.
Anyhow it totally worked & I got lots of RNA out for my downstream experiments! Yay! Nice win to end the week!
Reading another one of Ali Hazelwood's books, romanticising being a scientist:
Actually analysing my data to finish my lab report:
Standing up to people who are resistant to change can be intimidating, especially as a #WomanInSTEM.
Meet Aïda Snene, Secretary General of the Computing Center El-Khawarizmi (CCK) in #Tunisia, who did just this

Tomorrow we will hear another story on what it is like to be a #WomanInSTEM, and specifically in #supercomputing in Brazil !
It’s a 54th #womanInSTEM for my last #printerSolstice prompt: variety. Once again I am playing with two concepts of the theme: as design element and scientific term, as in the varieties of #butterfly specimen collected by Victorian lepidopterist, scientific illustrator, traveller and diarist Margaret Fountaine.

Celebrate #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience tomorrow with this brand new Editorial from Editorial Board member Prof Kirsten Sadler
from #NYUAbuDhabi discussing the shifting scientific culture & remaining barriers in science

First week of being an Assistant Professor done.. doesn’t feel too different, then again, I haven’t started teaching, I don’t have a lab and only have a temporary office BUT I have my first grad student in the starting block for Fall 2023 so let’s GO! #assistantproflife #newPI #womaninSTEM
Cersei Lannister was a #womaninstem btw!
I’ve give up feeling guilty that I don’t give off that clean girl aesthetic that is the expected standard I’m science communication and #WomanInSTEM.
I don’t wear pumps and a dress.
My pc setup/desk is not white and marble.
If that is you it’s beautiful but it’s not me.
I am chaotic, I dress alt/grunge, have colored hair, my desk is a mess and I will talk about bad mental health days.
#aerospace #space #STEM
This is what working an aerospace can look like. It is ok to dress alternative, having colored hair is professional and being an artist in a science environment is valid.

Saw this link from a fellow #WomanInSTEM Hazel, unfortunately I have lost the original toot. Hazel, I'm so sorry people are being assholes. We need to do better in the industry.
