Stereotypes start shaping us from an early age, so it's never too early to start challenging them, we would say! 💡 We had a lot of fun at QUANTASTISCH, an outreach event held at @oeaw.bsky.social for over 1,000 students who explored the fascinating world of quantum science. #QuantumScienceAustria

Are you a leading female researcher in STEM and would you like to spend 6 to 12 months at @oeaw.bsky.social? Apply now for the Berta Karlik Fellowship!! The call is open until 31 December 2025: www.oeaw.ac.at/foerderungen...

Exciting times! 🎉🗼Last week, we had the honour of presenting the atom*innen platform at the launch of the #Women4Quantum (#W4Q) Association at @sorbonneparis1.bsky.social in Paris!

Francesca Ferlaino: Quantenphysikerin mit Faible für kalte Atome und Kaspressknödel www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

So great to run all together! 4 teams, 16 of us 😉Thanks @atominnen.bsky.social and @iqoqi.bsky.social for organizing it!!

📽️ Francesca is featured in the social media campaign #breakthebias of Austria’s Ministry of Education, Science and Research! 👩‍🔬She highlights the importance of women’s perspectives in science and advocates for more women in leading positions to serve as a role model. #breakthebias #equality #bmbwf

⚡The future begins now⚡ Innsbruck at the center of quantum research #ORF documentary (in German) with @ferlainogroup, Gregor Weihs, Gerhard Kirchmair, Rainer Blatt, Peter Zoller, Thomas Monz, Serge Haroche, and many more. 👉🏻 on.orf.at/video/142763...

Spotlight on Women in Quantum 💡 Meet Prof. Jelena Vučković, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Leader of the Nanoscale and Quantum Photonics Laboratory at Stanford University. #SpotlightOnWomenInQuantum #atominnen

Your voice matters! 📢 Diversity in Quantum and the EU Quantum Flagship have just launched the 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. We highly encourage everyone who is part of the quantum community to participate: www.diviq.org/survey

Representation is key! That's why we're kicking off the 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 series. Every month, on the 11th, we'll highlight an inspiring researcher in honor of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11 Feb). First up, Christine Silberhorn from @unipaderborn.bsky.social:

Francesca Ferlaino lives & works in Innsbruck for almost 20 years now. In an interview she explains what inspires her work, how she is advocating for more women in physics and what "aussi" and "ummi" mean in Tyrol. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tbt... (in German) @ferlainogroup.bsky.social

In 2017, Maryam Mirzakhani died at age 40. Her legacy lives on in a world of unimaginable shapes.

Exciting day today as for the first time we are present at the MIP Day at Universität Innsbruck. We’re here to let young girls and women know that they absolutely belong in quantum physics 🚀💪 Hashtag#atominnen Hashtag#womeninphysics

We're all set for MIP Day – a special event at the University of Innsbruck for high school students passionate about Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics. With our brand new roll-up, flyers, and more, we're ready to engage with curious minds and hopefully future atom*innen! 🙋‍♀️💥

Today is International #WomenInScience and #GirlsInSTEM day.  Our forthcoming anthology: 'Women in the History of Quantum Physics' captures the stories of 16 pioneering women highlighting how women played a notable role in shaping quantum physics.  #IYQ2025 #WomeninSTEM #booksky cup.org/4g1k3Z4

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #WomenInScienceDay: https://scim.ag/4hOUuvx

‪Happy #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience!! ⚛️ Today, we celebrate the women in science who inspire us every day with their work, perseverance and determination - despite persistent patriarchal challenges. Thank you for empowering so many of us! 👏 youtu.be/zN7jMEgN9e8?...

Today, Francesca Ferlaino (@ferlainogroup.bsky.social) took part in a #TechDiplomacyTalk at the Austrian Foreign Ministry discussing the impact of quantum technologies to better understand them, anticipate policy responses & build quantum-ready societies. #IYQ2025 📺: www.youtube.com/live/B2LjcPC...

Hello Bluesky! We're exited to join this space 👋 Atom*innen is a network for women in quantum. We're here to connect, amplify voices, and advocate for a inclusive and empowering community. Say hi below and let us know who to follow!
