Women In Technology - Friday Links - 10/02/2023
Dearest Friday Link readers,
We have two agendas this week; one is full of hope, the other is very sad.
So you can guess that the full of hope one is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science !
Yes the day is finally here ! It is the February 11th.
First of all, we thank you all the contributors and also the followers for our instagram campaign: Innovate. Demonstrate. Elevate. Advance. Sustain.
Our Instagram page and Linkedin page are blooming with the work life of women from our community. If you are careful you can catch the keywords on the photos ; )
And don’t forget hastags: #February11 #idwgs2023 #WitAtCern #WomenAtCern #SheWorksAtCern #LifeAtCern
CERN Facebook page also created a fun and educated guess game.
If you missed the two great links related to today you can find them again here:

Today as a very special movement CMS communication and outreach team prepared videos of women works for CMS Experiment in different languages.
You will find the blog and linked videos here also there is a youtube play list of all videos.
They asked 3 questions , if you are curious checkout the videos ; )
Questions:
- What do you like the most about being a scientist? What makes science so cool?
- Do you remember anything that triggered your interest in science?-
- A call for girls to join STEM.
Thank you Federica, Nefeli, Sofia and all the speakers, contributors.

So you can also guess that the other one which is indeed very sad: the two huge successive Earthquakes occurred in south of Türkiye. It effected a very large region in Türkiye also including North Syria !
Here we would like to quote again the DG office message from Tuesday :
“We were all shocked and saddened to learn of the earthquakes that shook Türkiye and Syria yesterday, leading to appalling devastation and loss of life. Our thoughts go out to all those affected by this disaster.”
Today, we would like to introduce you, one of the unfortunate victims of Earthquake. First of all, she and her immediate family are alive but unfortunately they lost their homes : (
She is Prof. Dr. Deniz Sunar Cerci.
She was one of the conveners of CMS Experiment Standard Model Hadronic Physics group until September 2022.
She is currently working on the FACET project. Here you can find one of the articles from the project that she contributed.

Up coming events:
A detector school :
The Eurizon particle detector school 2023 (http://indi.to/EURIZONdetschool). The school will take place at Kutaisi International University (KIU) in Kutaisi, Georgia, on July 17-28, 2023. The school is organized in the framework of the EURIZON project, supported by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

For French speaking only:
Devoxx4Kids est une conférence réservée aux enfants de 4 à 15 ans. Le but est de découvrir de manière ludique la programmation, la robotique ou encore l’électronique avec des outils adaptés à leur âge.
Devoxx4Kids aura lieu le 11 mars 2023 au Globe du CERN.
WIT organise un atelier de programmation avec la carte Micro:bit et le robot Bit:Bot XL.
Nous cherchons 4-6 volontaires pour nous aider avec l’atelier pendant toute la journée. Une séance d’information est prévu Vendredi 24 février a 17h.
Plus de détails sur Indico : https://indico.cern.ch/event/1246793/
Il faut s’inscrire sur Indico et choisir les séances ou vous êtes disponible le 11 Mars. Les volontaires vont recevoir un t-shirt Devvox4Kids et un « Lunch bag » le jour de l’évènement. Ils auront aussi droit à une pré-inscription pour les enfants avant que l’évènement soit public (du 1 au 5 février).
Have a good and effective weekend to everyone,
Stay safe and hopeful,
Cheers,
Ece on behalf of the WIT-communications team.
