DESCRIPTION:Ruth Lynden-Bell (University of Cambridge)\, Giulia Galli (
 University of Chicago)\, Clémence Corminbeuf (EPFL)\, Magali Benoit (
 CNRS)\, Susanna Raule and Sara Menetti.\n"In order to achieve full and eq
 ual access to and participation in science for women and girls\, the Unite
 d Nations General Assembly declared February 11 as the International day 
 of Women and Girls in Science in 2015” (from the UN website).\nCECAM is
  glad to mark this important occasion with a special afternoon dedicated t
 o women who contributed to our field…and by proposing an unusual tool to
  encourage (also) young girls to consider a scientific path.\nOur program 
 starts with a conversation between Ruth Lynden-Bell (University of Cambrid
 ge)\, Giulia Galli (University of Chicago)\, Clemence Corminbeuf (EPF-Laus
 anne)\, and Magali Benoit (CNRS) who will share with us experiences and pe
 rspectives based on their remarkable professional journeys. Ample time wil
 l be provided for interactions with the audience – that we really hope w
 ill be diverse and active – to enable a broad discussion\, hopefully bri
 nging more and different points of views to the conversation.\nThe finale 
 of the meeting instead present the new CECAM comics “Cherchez\, les femm
 es” with the authors Susanna Raule and Sara Menetti. This comics is inte
 nded as a tool\, that we are happy to share with the community\, for inclu
 sive dissemination of our way to do science to younger audiences. Hopefull
 y\, you will also have some fun reading it!.\n\nProgram:\n15:00-15:05 Welc
 ome and introduction\n15:05-16:00 Ruth\, Giulia\, Clemence and Magali in c
 onversation\n16:00-16:40 Conversation with audience\n16:40-17:00 Cherchez\
 , les femmes! Presented by Susanna and Sara\n\nThe Zoom link will be publi
 shed in due time in the Event page on CECAM website.\n\nRuth Lynden-Bell\,
  University of Cambridge\nRuth Lynden-Bell obtained her PhD in 1962 under 
 the supervision of Norman Sheppard. Although this work was concerned with 
 measuring NMR coupling constants and chemical shifts in simple molecules\,
  she was always interested in theoretical chemistry. After a year at Cal T
 ech\, she returned to Cambridge for a short time before going to the Unive
 rsity of Sussex where she worked on the effects of motion on the ESR spect
 ra of triplets and radicals. Later\, after returning to Cambridge\, she st
 arted to use Molecular Dynamics to study motion in liquids with Ian McDona
 ld and has been using simulations ever since to study molecular motion and
  local structure in liquids\, on surfaces and in solids. In 1995 she was a
 ppointed to Queen's University Belfast as part of an initiative to set up 
 an interdisciplinary group in atomistic simulation. This continues to flou
 rish after 20 years. Now she is retired and back in Cambridge\, where unti
 l recently she continued to do simulations.\nShe was elected to the Royal 
 Society in 2006\, was awarded an honorary DSc by Queen's University in 200
 9\, and received the Paul Walden Prize in 2012 and the Lennard-Jones prize
  in 2017. She has also had two prizes named after her.\n\nGiulia Galli\, U
 niversity of Chicago\nGiulia Galli is the Liew Family professor of Electr
 onic Structure and Simulations in the Pritzker School of Molecular Enginee
 ring and the Department of Chemistry at the University of Chicago. She als
 o holds a Senior Scientist position at Argonne National Laboratory\, where
  she is the director of the Midwest Integrated Center for Computational Ma
 terials (http://miccom-center.org/). She is an elected member of the US Na
 tional Academy of Sciences\, the American Academy of Arts and Science\, th
 e American Association for the Advancement of Science\, and the Internatio
 nal Academy of Quantum Molecular Science. Her recognitions include the Ram
 an Prize in Computational Physics and the David Adler Award in Materials P
 hysics from the American Physical Society\, the Theory Award from the Mate
 rials Research Society\, the Feynman Nanotechnology Prize in Theory\, and 
 the Tomassoni-Chisesi award by La Sapienza University in Italy.  She is a
 n expert in the development of theoretical and computational methods to pr
 edict and engineer material and molecular properties from first principles
 . Her research focuses on problems relevant to the development of sustaina
 ble energy sources and quantum technologies (https://galligroup.uchicago.e
 du/).\n\nClemence Corminboeuf\, EPF-Lausanne\nClemence Corminbeuf is profe
 ssor in theoretical chemistry at EPFL (Lausanne). She obtained her Ph.D. d
 egrees from the University of Geneva conducting research in Geneva and at 
 TU-Dresden. She held postdoctoral positions at New York University and the
  University of Georgia. Her recognitions include the Theoretical Chemistry
  Award from the American Chemical Society (2018)\, the Werner prize (2014)
 \, two ERC grants (starting in 2012 and consolidator in 2018)\, the Heilbr
 onner-Hückel Lectureship Award 2021. Her research in computational chemis
 try focuses on the development of deterministic and statistical approaches
  to quantum chemistry along with conceptual work relevant to the field of 
 catalysis and molecular materials (http://lcmd.epfl.ch).\n\nMagali Benoit\
 , CNRS\nMagali Benoit is a CNRS research director at the CEMES laboratory
  in Toulouse (France). During her PhD\, she studied the nuclear quantum ef
 fects in the high-pressure phases of ice using path integral molecular dyn
 amics simulations\, under the co-supervision of Professor Rémi Jullien (U
 niversity of Montpellier) and Professor Michele Parrinello (at IBM Zurich 
 and at the Max-Planck Institute in Stuttgart). Since then\, she has been i
 nterested in path integral methods\, which she now applies to the problem 
 of isotope fractionation in geochemistry. She then joined the CNRS in 1997
  as a permanent research fellow at the Laboratoire des Verres of the Unive
 rsity of Montpellier where she initiated a research project on the structu
 re and properties of silicate liquids and glasses by ab initio methods in 
 order to refine the description of the local order in these systems. She m
 oved to Toulouse in 2005 where she now focuses on the study of metallic na
 noparticles\, and in particular on their growth\, morphology and interacti
 on with the environment\, in the context of biomedical and environmental a
 pplications. For this\, she develops numerical approaches mixing ab initio
 \, empirical potentials\, and machine learning methods. She is the directo
 r of the CECAM-FR-GSO node and the deputy director of the French “groupe
 ment de recherche” on IA in Materials Science (IAMAT). She is a member o
 f the scientific councils of the International Network on Nanoalloys and o
 f the “Fédération de Recherche Matière and Interactions” (FERMI) in
  Toulouse. In January 2022\, she took the head of the 'Surface\, Interface
  and Nano-object' group of CEMES.\n\nSusanna Raule \nSusanna Raule (www.s
 usannaraule.com)\, psychologist and psychotherapist\, was born in Spezia i
 n 1981. She worked as a translator and script writer. In 2005 she wan the 
 Lucca Project Contest with her comics Ford Ravenstock-specialist in suicid
 es\, with drawings by Armando Rossi. In 2010 she is among the finalists of
  the prize IoScrittore and she has published several novels and comics wit
 h main editors in Italy and Europe. She writes for Esquire\, Harper’s Ba
 zaar e Wired and is one of the founders of the collective for gender equa
 lity in the comics Moleste (www.moleste.org).\n\nSara Menetti \nSara Mene
 tti (www.saramenetti.it) was born in Bologna in 1984. After graduating fr
 om the International School of Comics in Bologna\, she worked as a freelan
 ce comic artist and illustrator for international agencies. Since 2013 she
  is in the collective of comics authors Mammaiuto with which she published
  Fotoessere\, the travel books Tokyo-an illustrated voyage and Lisboa- Di
 årio de viagem and the collection of short stories Pupe. She published Ce
 ntimetri with Feltrinelly Comics\, and Pregnancy Comic Journal – a comic
  diary of an unexpected pregnancy. Her last work is Knit\, Knit\, Knit! A 
 comics guidebook to…knitting”.
