Who was Ada Lovelace? \u00a0(Bonus points to you if you already know the answer.)<\/p>\n

Ada Lovelace<\/a> was an early pioneer in computing. \u00a0She collaborated with Charles Babbage (the mathematician who conceived of programmable computers) and she is reputed to the be world’s first computer programmer. That’s right — the world’s first computer programmer<\/em>. \u00a0Talk about (geek) grrl power.<\/p>\n

Today is the third annual Ada Lovelace Day<\/a>, an occasion for celebrating the work and the achievements of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. \u00a0In honor of this I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the two women who introduced me to the use of computing in qualitative data collection and analysis: \u00a0Dr. Olga Vasquez (UCSD) and Dr. Lynda Stone (CSUS). \u00a0Any inclination I had towards embracing computing in communications research can be traced back to the work that I did with them.<\/p>\n

Which women in science, technology, engineering and\/or mathematics have inspired you? \u00a0Share your stories and spread the word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
