We have been struck by the hideousness of the #sciencegirlthing issue bouncing around Twitter last week. For those who haven’t seen it, here’s the video which created a huge negative international response from male and female scientists alike. We are proud to say that our very own climate modeller Tamsin Edwards will be turning into a real model along with Cabot engineer Ellie Cosgrave who are organising a real female scientist calendar in backlash to the video. Stay tuned to the blog to find out who else is going to be in it…
And finally, Cabot Institute Artist in Residence, Neville Gabie has launched his very own blog to track the items and stories acquired for his new project – Common Room. Neville is attempting to collect an item from every Cabot community member and display it in a public archive. Each item will have a story attached to explain how the item is the gravitational centre of why we research what we research here at Cabot. It’s going to be an absolutely fascinating project and we expect big things from Neville, so keep checking back on his blog and if you want to learn more or have something you want to share, do get in touch with Neville.
