Finally, our sixth episode! After a forced hiatus we are so happy to be back and giving you this wonderful ep! We start off by giving you some updates about what we've been doing since the last episode and some exciting updates about Canadian women in science! Then we learn about Ada Lovelace and why she is still honoured today on Ada Lovelace Day! We interview a fun and inspiring mathematician Dr. Kay Kirkpatrick who shared wonderful stories about her path through science. Finally, we talk about an organization we have wanted to share for a while, Black Girls Code! facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SuperwomenSci/ twitter: https://twitter.com/SuperwomenSci website: www.superwomeninscience.wordpress.com Ada Lovelace podcast: https://findingada.com/blog/2017/08/29/ep-16-fire-engineering-liquid-paper-and-understanding-memory-and-cognition/ Perceptions of scientists blog post: https://girlsinstemblog.wixsite.com/blog/single-post/2017/08/22/Perceptions-of-Scientists Wings World Quest list: http://www.wingsworldquest.org/blog/2017/9/29/5-women-in-stem-podcasts-to-check-out?utm_content=bufferb50b8&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Make Change Conference: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmakechangeconference.com%2F&h=ATM1MUHr_fmwCcyNMZZqD51CNTXJ-PkkrmU5wY25bu8fsX6JQlxN6YidjxFOlKUHyHA8WDANjEb75fIAAm5UNko1yqmDcp0OPuXaq45rNSn9STULD5FgRIP5MIHq-zrJEiuAevNeJNS2y7ZJNiHVNYTPuvw https://www.facebook.com/events/1759315511028580/?__mref=mb https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/make-change-conference-2017-tickets-37917079004 Dr. Mona Nemer: https://evidencefordemocracy.ca/en/worth-the-wait http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/mona-nemer-new-chief-scientist-1.4308262 Rachel Ignotofsky Women in Science: https://www.amazon.ca/Women-Science-Fearless-Pioneers-Changed/dp/1607749769 Dr. Kay Kirkpatrick https://faculty.math.illinois.edu/~kkirkpat/personal.html https://twitter.com/kay314159 Reading suggestion! https://www.amazon.ca/Too-Much-Happiness-Alice-Munro/dp/0143170996 Black Girls Code: http://www.blackgirlscode.com/ https://twitter.com/BlackGirlsCode http://www.blackgirlscode.com/donations.html
