Here in The Rose Woman Podcast, we explore different themes of liberation in various forms. Today, we are focusing on the liberation found in celebrating the achievements of women scientists and scientists of color through storytelling. Our guest, Dr. Jessica Wade, is a Royal Society University Research Fellow, physicist, and lecturer in Functional Materials at Imperial College London.
Her research considers new materials for optoelectronic, spintronic, and quantum devices, with a focus on chiral molecular materials.
She was previously an Imperial College Research Fellow in SPIN-Lab at Imperial, which is led by Professor Sandrine Heutz. She worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Fuchter and Campbell groups at Imperial College London, where she optimized these chiral systems to absorb/emit circularly polarized (CP) light for CP OLEDs and OPDs. For her PhD, Jess concentrated on organic photovoltaics and the development of advanced characterization techniques to better understand molecular packing under the supervision of Dr. Ji-Seon Kim.
She is involved with several science communication and outreach initiatives, committed to improving diversity in science, both online and offline. Since the start of 2018, she has written thousands of Wikipedia biographies highlighting women scientists' achievements.
In this episode, we cover:
Jessica’s Journey into PhysicsAdvocacy for Diversifying AcademiaRecognizing and the Impact of Unconscious Bias Algorithm in Recruitment ProcessingThoughts on Today’s Education SystemsInitiative to write Wikipedia biographies for women scientistsThe Power of ImagesAddressing the lack of diversity in Academic ScienceCareer pathways of scientistsPioneer women scientists and their contributions Jessica’s Research on chiral molecules and its applicationsIntegration of Science and Art as a whole
