Reflecting on the 2019 Wise National Conference

The WISE National Conference took place at the end of January. We were excited to see so many past & present CU-WISE members there! Check out some photos from the conference and what some of our #smartgirls took away from the experience.

Thank You Faculty of Science and Faculty of Engineering & Design for helping send 8 CU-WISE representatives to the conference this year!

"This was my first time going to the WISE National Conference and I am very glad I got to. The conference was full of inspirational talks by very interesting and high achieving women. I was personally impacted by the diversity of the speakers. As a woman of colour, listening to a panel of women in medicine who were all women of colour and were all able to get where they were in their various careers in their own right was very motivating for me. In addition to the various panels, we also had some amazing keynotes from individuals who had interesting careers and hobbies.

My biggest takeaways from the conference were to learn to dream big, to do as much as I can and also to be confident in who I am because I am enough."

Francesca Tsimiklis, Leaving a Legacy

by Fareen Lavji We miss her so much; we could not help but feature her again. She is one of our favourites, it’s Franny! Francesca recently, and successfully, defended her master’s thesis entitled, “Design and Validation of a Force-Sensing Piano Key to Assess Pianist Biomechanics.” Her research began with an interest in musician injury. Although playing the piano is a common activity, the physical demand of playing is often overlooked. One study found that up to 71% of professional musicians and 87% of music students experience a performance-related musculoskeletal disorder at some point in their career. Francesca’s research looked to gain an understanding of why injury rates are so high at the base level of a finger-key interaction. She developed a novel force-sensing piano key. Her integrated sensing equipment inside of a replica piano key developed a method of measuring the position and 3-axis force application on the key. Francesca is also the recipient of the 2019-20 C...

This Month’s Top Story: The Artemis Program

History was made this month when 2 female astronauts, Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, embarked on NASA’s first all-women space walk. What is the Artemis Program? Artemis is NASA’s new lunar exploration program which plans to send the first women and next man on the Moon in 2024. The first missions to the Moon were achieved by NASA, and landing the first man on the Moon in 1969. That program was dubbed the Apollo program. Fun Fact! If you are familiar with Greek mythology, you will know that Apollo is known as the Sun god. Artemis was Apollo’s twin sister and known as the Moon goddess. The all-women spacewalk was set to take place months prior, in March 2019. After experiencing the spacesuit in flight (not on Earth), Christina Koch and Anne McClain came to realize that plans would have to be scrapped as the large spacesuit size was not feasible to continue the spacewalk. A proper spacesuit fit is required for astronauts to preven...

The End of an Unconventional Summer and Beginning of an Unconventional Year

W ell this is it, the end of summer 2020. Summer 2020 will definitely go down in history as one of the most memorable summers for all of us. It was the first summer where we couldn’t meet up with friends, there were no concerts or BluesFest, and summer jobs were extra scarce. However, it was also a summer consisting of self-reflection and community togetherness. There’s something beautiful about sacrificing your own plans and time for others safety. I personally feel as though I have grown as a person and learned so much this summer, and that’s partially thanks to social distancing. Social distancing required everyone to stay in, self-reflect, and spend time with ourselves, which I found to be very refreshing; As the well-known quote goes, “Love yourself first, because that’s who you’ll be spending the rest of your life with.” At this point, with only one week of summer left, a lot of professors are reaching out and explaining how Carleton Universit...
