We are presenting our last speaker for our 2024 event: Prof. Dr. Delphine Laboureur. 👩‍🔬🧪

She is an engineer specialised in Fluid Dynamics and Process Safety and associate professor at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics. From nuclear safety to heat exchanger characterisation in aeronautics, her research focus is wide and essential! 🔥

Delphine is also very involved in diversity and inclusion in science by acting as vice-president of Bewise asbl vzw!

Photo of Delphine Laboureur in a firefighter suit with the following text: "Delphine Laboureur performed her PhD at the von Karman Institute (VKI) and ULB, working on industrial accidents (BLEVE and Boilover). She moved to US, at Texas A&M University, to work on process safety related topics like LNG pool fires and dispersion, incident investigation, or offshore safety."

Photo of Delphine Laboureur during a conference with the following text: "In 2015, she came back to VKl as a research engineer and was appointed professor in 2018. Her current research areas focus on dispersion of solid and gas, nuclear safety, but also experimetnal characterisation of heat exchangers in aeronautics. She is also diversity and inclusion officer at VKI and vice-president of BeWiSe."

Our 11th speaker for the 2024 event is Darina Abaffyova! 🔥 👩‍🔬🧪

Darina is a bioinformatician PhD researcher at VIB and KU Leuven in Computational Biology. 🔬 She is using deep learning 💻 to better understand genes 🧬 and the brain development 🧠

#SoapboxScience #WomenInSTEM

Photo of Darina Abaffyova presenting her scientific poster with the following text: "Darina Abaffyova is a passionate learner originally from Slovakia. She moved to Belgium to pursue higher education, earning both a bachelor's and a master's degree in electronics and ICT engineering technology at KU Leuven. She further expanded her expertise by obtaining a second master's degree in bioinformatics. Now, as a PhD student at the VIB's laboratory of computational biology, Darina is on a mission to uncover the mechanisms that control gene activity during brain development."

Today we have Apeksha Shapeti! 👩‍🔬🧪Apeksha is a PhD student in biomedial engineering at KU Leuven, studying vascular diseases. She's a truly international scientist and we are eager to learn from her on 29th of June! 🗺 🎉
#SoapboxScience
#WomenInStem #WomenInScience

Photo of Apeksha Shapeti in the lab with the following text: "As a KU Leuven PhD researcher, Apeksha enjoys combining concepts in biomedical engineering, mechanics and cell biology to answer questions about vascular disease. She grew up in India but moved to the US to study Engineering at Cornell University. After 5 years in industry leaping from glass manufacturing in Japan, to microelectronics in New York - she quit her job to pursue her enthusiasm for biomedicine in Belgium. She derives immense satisfaction from community outreach programs in education, scientific communication, and mentoring. Besides her passion for science, Apeksha enjoys being active, writing, art, philosophy, food and Sun."

Just found out about Soapbox Science. A public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists and their research.

#SoapboxScience #Science #Edinburgh

Beautiful day for #SoapboxScience in #Brighton. Where I leaned I have a palmaris longus, from Prof Claire Smith's session on "your body is NOT a textbook example" (how true that is).

View onto the square on the Brighton seafront where soapbox science is held. Three boxes visible, where a piece of science is being discussed at each one with a small crowd around. Blue skies, and fluffy white clouds.

Prof Smith on the soapbox, wearing a costume illustrating human anatomy. She told us the arms have been sewn on the wrong sides. There is a whiteboard showing a tally of who in the audience does and does not have a Palmaris longus muscle in the wrist: 10 do, 6 don't. In the foreground an attractive black and white terrier sits, being a good girl.

#DiversityDay at #ForschungsverbundBerlin #FVB 28.05.2024

9 - 10 am Strengthening support for #diversity: the why and the how.

Photo of Ana Romina Fox in the lax with the following text: "Dr Ana Romina Fox earned a PhD in Biological Sciences in 2013, focusing on how plants respond to light. Subsequently, she conducted post-doctoral research on crops focusing on different topics that affect plant productivity. In 2016, she moved to Belgium to study aquaporins in maize. Returning to Argentina, she continued researching aquaporins in various organisms. In 2022 she received a fellowship to return to Belgium for two years to study aquaporins in plants. Currently, she's investigating how aquaporins affect plant cell structure using molecular biology and microscopes, aiming to enhance farming practices by understanding crop biology."

Our 8th speaker is Mariam Haidar 👩‍🔬🧪 from KU Leuven! Mariam works in #astronomy, improving the instrumentation of the exoplanet observatory MARVEL. 🔭 On the 29th of June she will explain us how to fine tune our search for other worlds. #WomenInSTEM #SoapboxScience

Mariam Haidar presenting her work to the public with the following text: "Mariam is a 1st year PhD candidate at KU Leuven, working on instrumentation for astronomy. Her passion is to learn more about the worlds outside our solar system, by helping the new observatory MARVEL achieve a better measurement precision. When she's not thinking about instruments, Mariam likes to draw webcomics, play board games and play volleyball or go hiking."

Our 7th speaker 👩‍🔬 🧪(already!) is Lidia Lopez 🎉
She is a biochemist and molecular biologist 🦠 studying Alzheimer disease at ULB 🧠 yet another intriguing science field that Lidia will unravel for us 🤩 #SoapboxScience
#WomenInScience
#WomenInSTEM
#AlzheimerDisease

Photo of Lidia Lopez in the lab with a sampling syringe and with the following text: "Hi! I'm Lidia and | study the mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). | studied Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in Málaga, Spain, which was followed by a master in Physiology and Neuroscience in Seville. After the first contacts with neurodegenerative diseases during my L bachelor and master final projects, I decided to pursue a PhD on this discipline. 3 years ago, I came to Brussels to work with Prof. Karelle Leroy on tau pathology of Alzheimer's disease. At this moment, we are silencing a protein linked to the tauopathy in AD and analysing the effect on the propagation of the lesions.

Today we present Dr Beatrice Hoa-Ai Hua 👩‍🔬🧪 from @ULiegeResearch She will tell us all about vibrating robots 🤖 and the interplay between statistical physics and biological processes. 🧬
