 ster students\n\nAssigned to work on the UNIVAC (UNIVersal Automatic Compu
 ter) Mary Ann Mansigh Karlsen spent thousands of hours helping physician B
 erni Alder turn his molecular dynamics into computer code to run on LLNL s
 upercomputers\n \nDear All\,\n \nHave you read “Rise of the Rocket Gir
 ls” by Nathalia Holt? Have you seen the “Hidden Figures” movie by Th
 eodore Melfi (see below)?  Are you interested to meet a truly outstanding
  representative of the first generation of coders?\nThen join us on Tuesda
 y November 14th at 12:15 in room PAC88 during an exclusive female lunch ev
 ent organized by CECAM\, NCCR Marvel and the Equal Opportunities Office wh
 ere Mary Ann Mansigh Karlsen\, computer pioneer\, will tell you more of he
 r career in breaking through gender barriers and supporting the physics re
 search done at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).\n \nFor org
 anization purpose\, please register HERE. \nThe event will consist of a pr
 esentation in English\, between 12:15 and 13:00\, followed by informal dis

 us her fascinating story\, sharing her experiences as a coder at Livermore
  over a period of almost thirty years\, and providing a unique insight on 
 the scientific and technological development of computer simulation from t
 he early days of molecular dynamics in the late 1950\, to the mid 1980s. (
