Golf II: donnern im Auftrag der Wissenschaft
Heute stellen wir ein besonderes Forschungsgerät vor, das seit 1998 treu seine Dienste im Zentrum leistet: Unseren "Donnerdiesel", der ohne Garage, aber mit jeder Menge Charakter bei Wind und Wetter auf seinem Parkplatz am Jülicher Institut für Troposphärenforschung steht. 🚗🌦️

#MyPathToHPC – Anna works as research coordinator
My name is Anna and I recently got the opportunity to join our newly founded Office for (Inter)national Coordination and Networking at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) after having worked at this institute for 15 years. Although I in principle know how to efficiently use an HPC system, my job is rather at a coordination level. But how did I get here?

Energy and Women and Radio astronomy
The last two weeks of September were quite busy for me, as I participated in three different events featuring three distinct talks across three different fields. Each event required also preparation from my side and interaction with various audiences.

The one about (male) inclusion – how it went
So, how did it go? What did we discuss? Did we gain any new perspectives? As we wrote in an earlier post, at JuWinHPC we firmly believe in inclusion. Therefore, we had organised a members meeting in September 2023, specifically inviting our male colleagues (who are also welcome to join any other meeting!) to offer space for their thoughts and opinions.

The one about (male) inclusion
At JuWinHPC we firmly believe in inclusion. This might sound obvious, or at least in my head it sounded obvious, but after reflecting a bit it might not be that obvious. After all, our name is Jülich Women in High Performance Computing.

JuWinHPC and WHPC at ISC23
The Women in HPC (WHPC) organisation delivered two great events at the ISC23 with two JuWinHPC colleagues, Ruth Schöbel and Claire Wyatt, on the organising committee. WHPC were invited to ‘take-over’ the HPC Solutions Forum stage in the Exhibition Hall and provided a poster networking event.

First days after maternity leave
My partner Marian and I both work as scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich. Because he also wants to spend time with our son and I did not want to pause my work completely, we decided to share the parental leave. We both reduced our working hours to about half and Marian goes to work on the days when I am at home and the other way around.

Career and family foundation: My experience during pregnancy
The opportunity to travel and to work with scientists all around the world was always a very exciting and thrilling experience for me. For a long time, work always came first and balancing my professional and private life was not always easy. However, as the years went by, the desire to start a family grew stronger.

Increase Female Wiki-bility
We have heard time and time again about the importance of role models in building our careers. Who did you look up to? Who inspired you to get where you are today? Who did you identify with and who made you think "if you can do it, so can I"? These might be easy questions: of course I know who inspired me, look at that great scientist! But I think inspiration can be a bit more subtle and is built up over the years.

Interview with Prof. Lena Oden: Attending conferences with baby and toddler
Lena Oden and her husband both work in academia and use their flexibility to travel jointly with their baby and their toddler to conferences and important project meetings. She kindly agreed to share challenges encountered, her experiences and tricks with others, who might be wondering how this interface actually works out in practice.

2023 Helmholtz GPU Hackathon
In May, Jülich Supercomputing Center hosted the 2023 Helmholtz GPU Hackathon, together with HZDR, HIDA, and OpenHackathons. After an initial virtual first day, nearly 80 people came together on the Jülich Campus to work together on accelerating the performance of the scientific applications they brought along.

Welcome to JuWinHPC Voices!
Why are there not more women working in high performance computing (HPC)? That is basically the central question this blog is all about and perhaps you have already asked yourself this question once or twice, just like we did. We are Ruth, Anna, Claire and Cristina and are some of the board members of JuWinHPC, responsible for this blog.

Tag der kleinen Forscher 2023: Satelliten bauen in der Grundschule in Hehn
Diesen Mai war es wieder so weit und ich habe am JuLab-Vorbereitungsworkshop zum Tag der kleinen Forscher 2023 teilgenommen. Ziel des Workshops ist es, Mitarbeitende des Forschungszentrums mit Materialien auszustatten und sie thematisch so fit zu machen, dass sie am Aktionstag umliegende Kitas und Schulen besuchen können, um mit den Kindern zu experimentieren.
