Brookhaven Women In Science

Brookhaven Women in Science is pleased to announce that applications for the new #MentorshipAward are open. The BWIS Mentorship Award will provide recipients with up to $10,000 to establish or support educational initiatives in #STEM for girls and women on Long Island. Applications can be submitted at https://lnkd.in/ekch2MtU Questions should be directed to [email protected]

Brookhaven Women In Science has played a strong role in grounding me and introducing me to so many amazing folks including Anna Goldberg and David! The addition of the #Mentorship Award shows the commitment to have a long-term impact on girls who would one day be #womeninscience ????????????! Congratulations to the BWIS team and much appreciation to David for securing our future in sciences ????????

Xiaoqian Chen of Brookhaven National Laboratory has received the DOE Early Career Award for her innovative research in quantum materials. This five-year funding will support her exploration of quantum entanglement and its implications for fields like quantum computing. Congratulations, Xiaoqian! #NSLSII #WomeninSTEM #EarlyCareer #QuantumMaterials #QuantumEntanglement #MaterialsScience #Quantum

Science Accelerating Girls' Engagement (SAGE) ?? High school girls aged 14-17 recently spent a week at Brookhaven Lab learning what life is like in #STEM professions. Engaging in fields from engineering to animal biology, they participated in job shadowing, hands-on projects, professional development, and more! #BrookhavenSciEd

I am excited to announce I am a recipient of the Joanna Fowler award from Brookhaven Women in Science. https://lnkd.in/eaCSnxuc Thank you to David Christianson for all his support during my Ph.D. And to all the macromolecular beamline scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory who made my research possible!

The winners of the 2024 Joanna Fowler Award have been announced. ?? Learn more about the recipients: https://lnkd.in/eBNwpVTY

Xi Yang is an accelerator physicist at National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II). As one of the most advanced synchrotron light sources in the world, NSLS-II enables researchers from all the world to tackle the most important challenges in quantum materials, energy storage and conversion, condensed matter and materials physics, chemistry, life sciences, and more by offering extremely bright light, ranging from infrared to x-rays.? ? As an accelerator physicist, Xi is dividing her attention between maintaining the ideal experimental conditions for users and developing new insights into accelerator physics, engineering, and potential next-generation light sources.?? ? Xi loves conducting studies on the electron and photon beams with her colleagues. They compare their experimental results to simulations so that they can continually enhance the performance of the accelerator. Furthermore, they model the various parts of the machine and develop machine controls to enhance the performance and stability of NSLS-II. ? Her message to present/future women in science: "Believe in yourself!"

I'm proud to announce that I have been selected as a recipient of the BNL Joanna Fowler Award for 2024. The Joanna Fowler Award in the Chemical and Biochemical Sciences is proposed to recognize outstanding early career (graduate or postdoctoral) women scientist who have advanced the chemical or biochemical sciences through research conducted at, or in collaboration, with Brookhaven National Laboratory. It is such an honor to be recognized by Brookhaven Women In Science community for my contributions to the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) community at the Interdisciplinary Science Department, the National Synchrotron Light Source II, and the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship Program. I must express my gratitude to my graduate advisors for their guidance, support, and encouragement. Special thanks to Dr. David Bock for being so critical to my growth as a scientist at BNL and for supporting my application for this award. This award has officially made me the most decorated graduate student at my graduate institution with a total of 6 merit-based awards/accolades.

Using art to discover science ???? We teamed up with Girls Inc. of Long Island to show girls in grades 6-8 how they can use sculpture, computer-assisted design, and more to explore the scientific research we do every day at Brookhaven. #BrookhavenSciEd #GirlsInSTEM
