Title: The Sunshine
This 11 February is the Day of Women and Girls in Science and the IAU is running a campaign for women in astronomy, supported by the RAS. You can find out more about the IAU's campaign for celebrating the Day of Women and Girls in Astronomy at their website.
We are celebrating our RAS women Fellow astronomers and space scientists who will give short talks on what inspires them about being a scientist. We are hosting 30-minute lunchtime chats every day of the week from 14-18 February. Join us at 12pm each day to hear all about their career path journey to astronomy and space science careers.
About the speaker:
I am Reetika Joshi, born and brought up in India and now a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Oslo, Norway. I did my Ph.D. in Solar Physics in 2021 from India about the small scale solar jets and flares from the solar atmosphere and their heliospheric connections. During my Ph.D. tenure I got two very famous scholarships, one was the Raman Charpak fellowship by the Indo French Centre for Promotion of Advanced Research (IFCPAR/ CEFIPRA) to conduct a part of my Ph.D. research at Observatoire de Paris and the other was the Scientific Committee on Solar Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP) visiting scholar fellowship by International Council for Science (ICSU) to work in China. I am a fellow of the prestigious Royal Astronomical Society since 2021. I have published almost 20 research papers with scientific collaborators from different parts of the world, e.g. India, France, Spain, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic and continuing the research journey as a postdoctoral researcher in Norway. Here I would like to tell you about “A Himalayan love affair with Cosmos!”. Let’s celebrate women!
