International Women's Day - Tuesday 8 March, 2022
We celebrated International Women's Day by holding an event in the department looking at 'How researchers can use social media effectively' with a focus on LinkedIn and Twitter. LinkedIn and Twitter can help people connect with and promote their work to a worldwide network and has helped bridge the gap during the pandemic, so we thought it would be important to help our department develop their skills in these areas.
International Day of Women and Girls in Science - Friday 11 February, 2022
In 2022, we celebrated the International Day of Women and Girls in Science by hosting a social media campaign on our departmental twitter account. We highlighted some of the fantastic women that work in our department and asked them what highlighting Women in Science means to them. Watch the video below or read the women in physics case studies.
