In celebration of International Women’s Day, we’re highlighting some historically significant items from Ingenium’s collection intrinsically linked of the incredible contributions of women in STEM.

Recently, the media has been flooded with warnings about climate change, and wildly contrasting predictions about the promise and pitfalls of AI. What you may not know is how AI and climate change are linked.

With the recent announcement that James Peebles had won the Nobel Prize in Physics , it is timely to revisit the history of the Physics Department at the University of Manitoba. In 2013, I visited the department to learn specifically about their program in mass spectrometry. On a broader level, my research and collecting touched on aspects of Peebles's rich undergraduate experience in the 1950s. It has been over one hundred years since British scientists developed methods to deflect ions

On June 23 — which marks International Women in Engineering Day 2019 — Ingenium will open its doors to volunteer editors eager to participate in a Wikipedia edit-a-thon. In partnership with Engineers Canada, this free event, hosted at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, will celebrate the achievements of women in engineering through the editing and creation of Wikipedia pages. “An edit-a-thon puts facts on the page, allows us to change biases, and adding translations in both French and English

Atomic physics, radar, and radio technology … and music Hugh Le Caine’s electronic Sackbut was the first synthesizer, a type of musical instrument that gave 1970s pop music its distinctively electronic sound. Le Caine, a trained musician, was a physicist at the National Research Council of Canada ( NRC ) and began work on the Sackbut in 1945. Borrowing from atomic physics, radar, and radio technology, Le Caine innovated techniques in voltage control to generate wave forms and enrich their

A biochemist, avid cross-country skier, and former science budget analyst speaks on the joys of collecting, the lessons learned, and the importance of preserving material culture.
