This Twitter Thread Shows Why Academia Is Yet Not Safe For Women

20 May 201920 May 2019 Paola Elefante Leave a comment

In 2019, academic institutions are still willing to turn a blind eye when it comes to sexual harassment. It doesn't matter if terrifying stats keep being published. No one is willing to take a serious stand. Reality is, women and men have complete different experiences of a career in academia. I never met any context […]

Childcare at conferences: guidelines

25 March 201625 March 2016 Paola Elefante Leave a comment

I have been talking so much(*) about childcare at conferences that someone may think this has become a parenting blog. This post aims at summarising why organisers should offer support to parents working in academia and how exactly they can do that. Why you should do it I can give you plenty of reasons why. […]

Science Slam Helsinki 2015: a triumph for Inverse Problems

13 January 201623 February 2016 Paola Elefante Leave a comment

Last November I attended a fun event here in Helsinki: a sort of mix between science and stand-up comedy called Science Slam Helsinki. A Science Slam is a form of science communication to general audience. Each scientist gives a short talk (10-15 mins) to popularise science. Often such events are held in non-academic places, like pubs. Science […]

Live from Inverse Days 2015: baby on board

9 December 20159 December 2015 Paola Elefante Leave a comment

This week I did something a little crazy, dictated by necessity: I took my 2 year old girl to a conference, namely the Inverse Days in Lappeenranta. We drove from Espoo (bad idea) on Monday evening and will stay until Thursday, cutting at half day to get home not too late. Baby-wise it went much […]

Giving more visibility to minorities in mathematics: practical guidelines

17 October 201513 October 2015 Paola Elefante 2 Comments

Inspired by the recent paper Addressing the underrepresentation of women in mathematics conferences by Greg Martin, I decided to create a short and practical "to-do" list for conference organisers. This list does not apply to the specific field of mathematics, nor to women only. It's all good to involve all minorities, in any field. Take […]

Childcare in academia: hall of fame

25 September 20154 November 2015 Paola Elefante 1 Comment

Balancing work and family can be stressful, but balancing an academic career and family can be even worse. A lot of travelling to present your own work and network to find new collaborators and ideas, visiting periods abroad and social events undermine the fundamental component of family life management: routine. I am a young researcher […]

Live from Münster: summer school on inverse problems 2015

24 September 201524 September 2015 Paola Elefante Leave a comment

I have been visiting the lovely German town of Münster in the past two weeks and in the last few days I have been attending a summer school on inverse problems here. Even though knowing the family was struggling at home to keep up the routine has been worrying me, I must say I enjoyed these days here, both […]
