Hello #optics & #photonics friends. We are working on a special #STEM project for kids that we will share with you when ready. But we need your help 🙏. If you were asked about most interesting/cool optics & photonics facts that everyone should know about what would it be?🙃

Join the Women in Optics & Photonics Network initiative. Our pilot event, Thriving in Academia, will be held online on February 16th. #WomenOpticsNetwork #WomenOpticsPower

Shiya was 16yo when she was doing a research project with me Lions Eye Institute. We had a lot of fun! I was helping her to grow as #WomeninScience. She was bringing new ideas & inspiration. Happy #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience #February11 Women in Vision UK

Many thanks to M_Vinas, Gavrielle Untracht, Francesca Gallazzi, Victor Rodriguez-Lopez, PhD & D.M. Sampson who created this game. I appreciate their work to build and share it with others. I look forward to seeing future Optica student chapters game nights. #GirlsInScience #IDWGS2022

Attention! Attention! A great game available to download/ print / and modify to teach everyone about great achievements & interesting facts of #women in #STEM including #Optics! International Day of Light 16 May Fundacja Candela University of Surrey

Couldn’t imagine a better 14Feb! 1 time in the last 2 years with hands-on #optics and a very creative group of kids. They even figured out by themselves how to draw anaglyphs! I made 1 myself last night. Hope you like it🙂 University of Surrey Guildford Borough Council SPIE Optica

I love it

Waiting for a special visitor today ⁦University of Surrey⁩ #opticaWorldwide

And here he is. Thank you so much @Yann_Bristol for visiting us today Surrey OSA; really nice chatting to you, Youngchan Kim Professor David Sampson & Catxere about #optics, #photonics, life, the universe and everything ☺️until next time

For tomorrow's Big Quantum Bio Meeting we are joined by Keith Kasunic from the University of North Carolina (further information in poster); Thursday Feb 10, 3pm London/7am PST Organized by ourselves (University of Surrey's Quantum Biology Doctoral Training Centre) and @QuBiT_UCLA

She is definitely one of my heroes and inspiration.

An excellent way to celebrate #InternationalWomensDay2022 with remarkable women like Optica Board Member Judith Dawes and two #OpticaAmbassadors Mengjie Yu and @isbaylam.

We celebrate women everywhere - but there is a special place in my heart this year for Ukranian women.

Couldn't agree more. #STEM connected me with many inspiring women. But today, I am thinking about my Ukrainian friends Mariia Pashchenko & Olesia. You are the kindest people, I know. Thank you for making the world a better place 1/2 Women in Vision UK Optica

I wish I could do more to help you and your country. optica-opn.org/home/newsroom/… 2/2

Happy #IDL2022 #LightDay2022 🥰 today will be many announcements about exciting "light projects" - stay tuned. let's start with the video by wonderful people (Gavrielle Untracht @isbaylam Philip Wijesinghe Agata&Andrea); International Day of Light 16 May SPIE Optica 1/2 youtu.be/XxHYR-A68FA

Please come & join us at TOM4 Bio-Medical Optics at #EOSAM2022 which focuses on bringing together researchers working on new fundamental image and sensing systems & clinicians who apply them to see and sense tissue in ways never been performed before. europeanoptics.org/events/eos/eos…

University of Surrey I like the sculpture of the great Alan Turing. But I think it is missing a buddy. Why not add a statue of Henryk #Zygalski? He used to work University of Surrey & before contributed to breaking the Enigma. Two great minds connected through maths, Enigma, & Guildford. What a story!
