Here it is! The new film about Hertha Ayrton! A Jewish girl from Portsea became the first woman Member of Institution of Electrical Engineers & first woman to be nominated as Fellow of the Royal Society in 1902! This is her story: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ahLt9A…
Continuing the story of Hertha Ayrton with @claudiahammond ...this time at the IET (formerly #IEE) where Hertha became the first female member in 1899! It would not be till 1958 that IEE would elect another!

This is right and is exactly what we have been saying for some time - it has been the the focus of our @EPSRC funded @UNLOCprogramme @transnet_pgm - on unlocking & transformining the optical communications network capacity which underpins the #telecoms #infrastructure!!
BT CEO Allison Kirkby said telecom infrastructure is the foundation for growth catalysts offering way out of current economic stupor. Read more on Light Reading: bit.ly/4gKnbKS
