The PAM Talks is an interview series showcasing the voices of researchers who belong to traditionally underrepresented groups in Physics and Astronomy, specifically highlighting women and other gender minorities. If you were to ask a random person from the public, they would likely struggle to name even one woman scientist, let alone a physicist. Our mission is to address this lack of representation, increasing awareness among our audience about the diverse spectrum of researchers in physics and astronomy. We provide a platform for these researchers to share their work and personal experiences, fostering inclusivity and breaking down barriers in the scientific community.
We gratefully acknowledge support from the University of Calgary Graduate Student Association Quality Money grant program.

2.0.3 Dr. Shohini Ghose - Celebrating Women in Physics and Astronomy
Dr. Shohini Ghose wears many hats! She is Professor of Physics and Computer Science at Wilfrid Laurier University and Chief Technology Officer of the Quantum Algorithms Institute. Her research focuses on quantum superposition and entanglement, uncovering their applications in computing and information processing. Beyond her scientific achievements, Dr. Ghose is a champion for equity, diversity, and inclusion in STEM. She serves as an NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering and leads impactful programs as the Research and Programs Director of the Laurier Centre for Women in Science. In her award-winning book, Her Space, Her Time, Dr. Ghose brings to light the stories of pioneering women in physics and astronomy, inspiring readers with their remarkable journeys. In this interview, hosted by MSc student Gabby Gelinas, we explore how quantum computing is shaping our world and learn about Dr. Ghose's efforts to honor the trailblazers of the past while paving the way for future generations of women in physics.
Mentor: Dr. Shohini Ghose, Professor of Physics and Computer Science at Wilfrid Laurier University and Chief Technology Officer of the Quantum Algorithms Institute. NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering. Research and Programs Director of the Laurier Centre for Women in Science.
Host: Gabby Gelinas, MSc student, University of British Columbia
