Knowing is Loving: Through Women in STEM
Information on the conferences
In October 2021, the fourth cycle of virtual conferences entitled “Through women in STEM” began, led by the outstanding researcher Mariángel Paolini Padrón. Women have contributed significantly to science since its inception. With darker periods than others, it is possible to talk about science and technological advances through the works of those pioneers who risked breaking the paradigms of their time and building a legacy for future generations.
The lectures were held in the month of October at 11 a.m. and were distributed as follows:
- October 5: “Genetically modified foods. An ethical debate through the lives of Hortense Dodo and Raquel Chan”
- October 12: “Listening to the Stars. A story of resilience through the work of Wanda Díaz Merced”
- October 19: “Impact of COVID-19 on women’s health “EVA Project”
- October 26: “Biases and prejudices of artificial intelligence, the work of Joy Buolamwini”
Information on the Speaker
Mariángel Paolini Padrón: Lic Química (USB), MSc Food Science (USB), Organizational Coach (MVL Consultores).
She developed her career in the area of analytical chemistry, designing methodologies for the quantification of heavy metals in naphthas through techniques such as atomic absorption and gas chromatography coupled to masses. After completing her master’s degree in food science, she worked on a line of research to develop foods aimed at vulnerable communities with special food requirements. Subsequently, she dedicated himself to the marketing area of equipment for high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Currently, she is dedicated to the dissemination of scientific content available to all people, with an emphasis on making women scientists and their contribution to society visible, as an impulse for new generations to have role models in the area of stem.
