Event: Advances in mental health research at the DEC and beyond

The DEC Equality & Diversity Committee will be hosting its next event on December 8th! The event aims to highlight recent advances in mental health research and will bring the spotlight to some of the early career researchers in our department, to introduce us to their work on this important topic. We are also delighted to welcome Astrid Chevance as an invited quest speaker!

The event will start at 14:00 and after all talks there will be a chance to chat with the speakers over some coffee and cakes. More details can be found on the event’s agenda page.

Event: Wikipedia Edit-a-thon for 11F

The 11th of February marks the international day for women and girls in science. To celebrate this occasion, the DEC Equality & Diversity committee, in collaboration with the Physics and Geosciences departments of Ecole Normale Supérieure, are organizing a Wikipedia edit-a-thon. The goal of the event is to increase visibility of women in science. Only 16% of Wikipedia scientist biographies are about women and only 15-20% of Wikipedia editors identify as female or non-binary.

During this 2 hour event, there will be a short introduction on how to create and edit Wikipedia pages, after which small interactive groups will work on the Wikipedia page of a particular scientist. Suggestions for scientist profiles representing the different fields (cognitive science, theoretical physics, and geosciences) will be provided, but feel free to bring your own suggestions as well.

Everyone is welcome to join, no pre-knowledge of Wikipedia is necessary! To join and for further information please sign up using the following link: https://bit.ly/3iKGNjT
