Our Ocean Wealth Summit is Ireland’s flagship event for the marine sector. From engineering to shipping, from aquaculture to energy, from technology to biosciences, this Summit brings together Irish and International organisations working to create innovative, sustainable solutions with global impact that drive our blue economy.
On New Year’s Eve 2018, ninety excited women boarded a ship to Antarctica for three weeks as part of a global leadership programme for women in science. Squeezed between down jackets and spare socks were very out of place OceanPositive swimsuits, destined for a polar dip, when the time was right.
There’s your ideal shopping, and then there’s the shopping you sometimes have to do. I think it’s important that people don’t beat themselves up. Even the most informed of us and the best-intentioned end up in a supermarket at ten o’clock at night and that’s ok; we’re all busy.
A SPECIALIST project to help increase the number of women in STEM fields has been launched at a Wales-wide event.
The University of South Wales (USW), with the support of funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW), is leading the way by establishing the Wales Women in STEM Network.
Dr Tara Shine is an environmental scientist who co-founded Change by Degrees. She spoke about “Change”, what that means and how we feel about it. She also talked about her recent trip to Antartica which she undertook with a programme called Homeward Bound.
Dr Tara Shine, of Change By Degrees, remarks on ‘New Horizons: A Future Perspective’ at the closing plenary of Ireland’s National Biodiversity Conference: New Horizons for Nature, which was held at Dublin Castle on 20 and 21 February. www.biodiversityconference.ie #biodcon19
“You can’t be what you can’t see” is a phrase used to explain in part why women are underrepresented in the Stem disciplines (science, technology, engineers and maths). Without female role models women and girls are less likely to pursue a Stem career.
Have you ever stopped to wonder how we got ourselves in this mess? Wrapped up in plastic, carbon emissions spiralling, a few rich people owning most of the world’s resources? Surely, there is a better way of doing things. A new way of living that is more compatible with the ability of planet Earth to provide the resources we need to live.
