A calendar featuring stunning images of UCL scientists and UCL locations has been launched to raise money for projects that encourage young women and girls to see science as an enriching, exciting and productive career choice. ScienceGrrl Calendar 2013 showcases the real face of female scientists, with photographs that demonstrate the impact of their work. Sujata Kundu (UCL Chemistry alumna), Lia Han (UCL Physics & Astronomy), Sheila Kanani (UCL Mullard Space Science Laboratory) and Eleanor Stride (UCL Mechanical Engineering) all appear in the calendar alongside a many other female scientists working around the UK. Some of the photos in the calendar also feature male scientists who have shown their support for more women in science, including Mark Miodownik (UCL Mechanical Engineering) and Kevin Fong (UCL Neuroscience, Physiology & Pharmacology). Four out of the 13 photos were shot at UCL locations; the Quad, the Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre, an optomechanics lab and an ultrasonics lab. The 13 images in the ScienceGrrl Calendar 2013 can only showcase a small part of the fascinating and valuable work undertaken by the diverse range of women in STEM, but it is a beautiful introduction to the female face of science. Heather Williams (Founder and Director of ScienceGrrl) The calendar will be sold to raise funds for initiatives that will help girls and young women engage with STEM subjects and realise STEM careers.
