It was an honor to be one of the organizers for last week's 'Invisible Rainbows' talk at Tyndall National Institute in advance of International Day of LGBQTIA+ People in STEM, being celebrated today. As part of the Research Ireland-funded week-long SpaceFest, we brought together Pride in STEM founder Dr Alfredo Carpineti and Irish Photonic Integration Centre's Dr Fatima Gunning to talk about what the full spectrum of light shows us about our world and our universe, and about their careers into #EDI #advocacy, #mentorship and #visibility. The evening was facilitated by Jeanie Mac, MSc, who lead a fantastic discussion and an event-long round of photonics bingo. Definitely a highlight of the year!

The theme of this year's Expo is “The World Needs You: Solving Global Challenges with STEM”. The event will showcase how STEM careers and a STEM education can address real-world problems that impact climate change, healthcare, robotics, AI and medtech. An Tánaiste, Micheál Martin TD, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence speaking at the event launch, “This initiative continues to promote, empower and encourage young people to explore STEM opportunities across industry sectors that significantly contribute to our nation’s economic growth. Investment in knowledge has always been our greatest enabler and STEM South West - with its widespread industry and education partner base - is opening doors for our young people. I wish the organising team, the exhibitors and all of the visiting students, parents, teachers every success and an enjoyable immersive experience.” Mary Good, Chair, STEM South West commented, “ Ireland offers an incredible range of opportunities to students that choose to study STEM subjects. These subjects not only serve as the bedrock for so many careers but can also be the ticket for students and young graduates to explore the world, discover, learn and find new ways and means to make a positive impact on themselves and on the lives of others. Every step towards positive change matters as our global society faces critical issues around health, climate change, housing, energy and the very future of how we live and work. Investing in those that will hold the future in their hands, inspiring and equipping them to learn, lead and innovate is the right thing to do. The work that STEM South West is doing is necessary to ensure that our current STEM industry base is secure, that companies continue to locate in Ireland, that our start-ups and SMEs are given the opportunity to thrive, and that the students of today are given the skills to tackle the global challenges of tomorrow. STEM South West is driving a collective response to this – by showcasing the incredible range of opportunities that the STEM sector has to offer across the South West.” Visitors will get to explore exhibits from some of the biggest employers in the country, including Platinum Sponsors PepsiCo Ireland, Johnson & Johnson, Stryker, Gilead Sciences, Astellas Pharma, PM Group, Munster Technological University, University College Cork, Analog Devices, Horner APG Canada, VEX Robotics, Alcon, MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory and more.
