Ep 10: Elen Gwynne & Prof Jim Al-Khalili OBE - a podcast by Ada Lovelace Day

This month, we talk to software developer Elen Gwynne about how she made the transition from astrophysics to programming. And we’ve got theoretical physicist and broadcaster Professor Jim Al-Khalili who tells us about Daphne Jackson, the first woman to become a professor of physics in the UK.

Our Discovery of the Month is, this time, more of an invention! We’ll be taking a look at the history of the compiler, an essential piece of software that makes programming in human-readable languages possible.

The Ada Lovelace Day podcast highlights the work of women in STEM. We talk to women from around the STEM world about their careers, as well as talking to women and men about historic and modern women’s achievements, discoveries, and inventions.
