For permission to use, or to suggest additional materials, please contact the author at e-mail: fraknoi {at} fhda {dot} edu This guide to non-technical English-language materials is not meant to be a comprehensive or scholarly introduction to the complex topic of the role of women in astronomy. It is simply a resource for educators and students who wish to begin exploring the challenges and triumphs of women of the past and present. It’s also an opportunity to get to know the lives and work of some of the key women who have overcome prejudice and exclusion to make significant contributions to our field. We only include a representative selection of living women astronomers about whom non-technical material at the level of beginning astronomy students is easily available. Lack of inclusion in this introductory list is not meant to suggest any less importance. We also don’t include Wikipedia articles, although those are sometimes a good place for students to begin. Suggestions for additional non-technical listings are most welcome. Vera Rubin Annie Cannon & Henrietta Leavitt Claudia Alexander Cecilia Payne Table of Contents: 1.

  • Yale University Astronomy Department Newsletter Yale
    Yale University Astronomy Department Newsletter Vol. 6 Spring 2016 No. 1 Yale Astronomy Department moves to Hillhouse Avenue mansions The Astronomy Department and the Yale Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics (YCAA) have moved from the Josiah Willard Gibbs Laboratory (Gibbs) to the three former School of Man- agement (SOM) mansions on Hillhouse Avenue: 56 Hillhouse (Thomas M. Evans Hall, or EVN), 52 Hillhouse (Steinbach Hall, or STN) and 46 Hillhouse. The department opened in its new home on Monday, August 24, 2015. Gibbs, a modernist structure built in 1955, will be demolished to make way for construction of the new Yale Science Building (YSB). Therefore, all occupants of Gibbs needed to be moved to other locations. The move took a little over a year to plan and involved many people from all over the University as well as from external companies. The move coordination company was Richard L. Hoffman and Associates and the moving company was Clancy Relocation & Logistics. The mansions were beautifully reno- vated by Standard Builders to prepare for the coming of the Steinbach Hall, the new administrative home of the department. astronomers.

  • NASA Missionstem Summit Summary
    MISSIONSTEM SUMMIT August 8-9, 2016 OPENING SESSION Speakers: − Charles F. Bolden, Jr., NASA Administrator − Dr. Dava Newman, NASA Deputy Administrator − Brenda R. Manuel, Associate Administrator, NASA Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity (ODEO) − Dr. Jo Handelsman, Associate Director for Science, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) − Christina M. “Tina” Tchen, Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff to the First Lady Summary: NASA officials welcomed participants and discussed the importance of diversity and inclusion in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The NASA Associate Administrator for Diversity and Equal Opportunity stated that the MissionSTEM Web site is a catalyst for change, a vehicle for highlighting best practices, and a clearinghouse for information about equal opportunity and STEM, and that the MissionSTEM Summit was the next logical step for NASA’s work in diversity. The purpose of the Summit was to foster idea generation and collaboration. The NASA Administrator (via pre-taped video) noted that disparities in STEM are of great concern and noted diversity is critical to the Nation’s scientific and economic future. NASA’s Deputy Administrator added that it is important to nurture all of the talent available to us and inspire a new generation. Sexual harassment, unconscious bias, discrimination, and lack of inclusion have serious, negative impacts on the choice to pursue STEM careers. In pre-taped videos, members of Congress emphasized that diversity in STEM is a moral and economic issue; U.S. competitiveness depends on it and diversity strengthens innovation. The United States needs to find ways to open STEM to everyone; the environment must be hospitable and Federal funding agencies must stand up to predators and harassers.
