Episode 6 - Computer Science And Statistical Mechanics With Dr. Kay Kirkpatrick

Finally, our sixth episode! After a forced hiatus we are so happy to be back and giving you this wonderful ep! We start off by giving you some updates about what we've been doing since the last episode and some exciting updates about Canadian women in science! Then we learn about Ada Lovelace and why she is still honoured today on Ada Lovelace Day! We interview a fun and inspiring mathematician Dr. Kay Kirkpatrick who shared wonderful stories about her path through science. Finally, we talk about an organization we have wanted to share for a while, Black Girls Code!
