We are going to watch a cool movie featuring women in science and chill afterwards…feel excited yet?

Phi:male would like to invite you to this semester’s Mathematics coffee lecture next Monday 19.12.22 at 12:00 in HG E1.1.

To call attention to how we can speak and write to include people of all genders, we have written and delivered a letter to all lecturers at D-Math and D-Phys. You can read the letter on our blog.

 

At the second coffee lecture of the semester, we heard Prof. Dr. Yiwen Chu talk about her experience with moving to the U.S. as a child and her studies and first research positions there. She talked about challenging situations as a woman in science and gave us an insight into her research at ETH. Afterwards, there was a discussion with lots of input from students on culture in academia and honesty in conversations.

Thanks to everyone for the lively discussion and see you soon at our next coffee lecture!

As part of the Respect month, Dr. Meike Akveld told us about her work as a contact person at D-Math and how we can all do our part in promoting Respect at ETH by standing up for others.
