Elevating Quantum Women's Voices

Description

<p>Biliana Rajevic, Head of External Communications at Quantum Brilliance and co-founder of Quantum Women, Rachel Rayner, a science communicator and comedian, and Alison Goldingay, a quantum researcher at UNSW. We discuss the &quot;Elevating Quantum Women&#39;s Voices&quot; program, an initiative designed to empower women in the quantum industry to communicate effectively and build their visibility. They share insights from the program&#39;s curriculum, such as the power of storytelling, adapting to different audiences, and the specific challenges of presenting on Zoom. Rachel describes her &quot;Quantum Comedy&quot; shows that blend humor with physics, while Alison and Biliana demonstrate the program&#39;s &quot;60-second challenge&quot; by explaining single-photon detection and diamond-based quantum computing in plain English. We also explore the broader importance of diversity in the quantum ecosystem, and much more.</p>
