Report from the NornDip conference
This year the conference was given at the University of Bergen in Norway, May 7-8. The theme of the conference was “Smoothening the bumpy road – on gender microagressions”. During the conference seminars on physics was mixed with seminars on gender and diversity topics.
NornDip is a Nordic Network for Diversity in Physics. It was founded in 2018 and with financial support from Nordforsk we have every year organized a conference in one of the Nordic countries. Barbro Åsman has been the driving person behind NornDip.
Christiane Helling from Space Research Institute, Austrian Academy of Sciences was invited to give a seminar about the micro physics of cloud formation in exoplanet atmospheres. Adrienne Lorelei Traxler, Department of Science Education, University of Copenhagen gave a seminar with the title “Counting and context: Gender, physics, and methods in tension”.
Supriya Krishnamurthy gave a seminar with the title “Entropy production in non-equilibrium systems”.
The funding for the network from Nordforsk has now ended. However, the board of NornDip has decided to continue to organize these conferences in the Nordic countries.
