Founded in 2009 by Suw Charman-Anderson, it is now held every year on the second Tuesday of October. It features a flagship Ada Lovelace Day Live! ‘science cabaret’ event in London, UK, at which women in STEM give short talks about their work or about other women who have inspired them, or perform short comedy or musical interludes with a STEM focus.
British Antarctic Survey’s Atmospheric chemist, Dr Anna Jones will give a talk about her research in Antarctica. She has studied the effect of stratospheric aircraft on the ozone layer, the ozone hole over Antarctica, how signals in the atmosphere are recorded in ice cores, and how snow and ice over the remote Antarctic control the composition of the continent’s atmosphere.
This year, ALD Live! will be held on 11 October at The IET in London, and tickets are on sale from here
