Happy Ada Lovelace Day!
.
Every year, this day celebrates the achievements of women in STEM. At Coreus, we are very proud of all the brilliant women in our team.
.
Today the Coreus ladies have taken a moment to recognise a woman that has inspired them:
• Helen da Costa, Director of Enabling Services “Today I am championing Dorothy Hogkins, a Nobel Prize-winning British chemist whose work with insulin led it to be produced on mass, saving and improving the lives of people with diabetes, including my Dad!
.
• Olivia Moorey, Project Manager “I am inspired by Marie Curie for her pioneering work on radioactivity and contribution to cancer treatments. She was the first woman to win a Noble Prize, which makes me want to strive to achieve all I can in construction!”
.
• Isobel Scantlebury, Marketing Assistant “Katherine Johnson was an American mathematician who calculated and analysed many spacecrafts and flight paths at Nasa. This makes me proud to be woman working in STEM!”
.
• Maxine Goodey, Director of Sustainability “Jane Goodall is a ground-breaking conservationist. Her work has inspired me to help protect our environment!”
.
• Megan Thornton, Assistant Marketing Manager “ I have chosen Valentina Tereshkova, the first and youngest woman to have flown in space with a solo mission. Her bravery is inspiring!”
.
• Gracie Schooling, Project Assistant “Zaha Hadid is an Iraqi-British architect, she is the first woman to ever win the Pritzker Architecture prize, which is the gold standard for the profession. She shows that there doesn’t have to be a distinction between science and creativity, and she inspired me to do my degree in architecture!”
