‘Without these tools, I’d be lost’: how generative AI aids in accessibility

By Amanda Heidt

A rush to place barriers around the use of artificial intelligence in academia could disproportionately affect those who stand to benefit most.

E+T Critical Targets: Is the technology sector on target?

by Tim Fryer

What progress are we making in solving the world’s greatest engineering challenges?

Three years ago, E+T undertook a project called Critical Targets during the 150th anniversary celebrations of the IET. The idea was to draw a line in the sand with some of the greatest challenges facing society and the planet – more specifically, areas in which the engineering and technology sector is providing the foundations for resolving those problems. In this article, we look at those Critical Targets in the company of ‘champions’ for each one – often the same champions from 2021.

The Physicist Who Chose People Over Particles | Podcast Episode on RSS.com

by Kelly Shungu

Dr. Claire Malone is not your average physicist. She completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge, hunting for supersymmetric particles at CERN's ATLAS experiment, has met Stephen Hawking, and has since built a career dedicated to making science work for everyone, not just the few.

Kelly Shungu sits down with Claire for one of the most thought-provoking conversations we've had on the show. Claire opens up about why she walked away from research after her PhD, how she navigated academia with cerebral palsy, and why AI is reshaping who gets a seat at the science table. She also introduces the idea of the "Culture of Speed" and makes a compelling case for why it might be the single biggest barrier holding STEM back.

Global Family: Could water poverty become a thing of the past?

by Tim Fryer

Three years ago E+T looked at the challenges facing humanity and set seven Critical Targets that the engineering and technology sector needs to achieve if we want to look optimistically to the future. To evaluate progress on these Critical Targets and talk more broadly on these fundamental challenges, we talked to seven experts in a series of podcasts. Special Guest - Dr. Claire Malone

BBC World Service - Digital Planet, Is disability tech delivering?

Why does tech not understand my speech?

Physicist Dr Claire Malone is facing a problem: no speech-to-text software understands her. She is living with cerebral palsy, a condition that affects her movement and muscle coordination, including her speech. Claire shares how much of a difference this tech could make in her life, and Gareth speaks to Sara Smolley, the co-founder of Voiceitt, one of the leading companies in the area, about how close we are to having software that can understand people like Claire.

♠️Aces Interviews with Claire Malone ♠️

by Leo Aces

Today I’m speaking with Claire Malone, a science communicator and inclusion consultant. She holds a Ph.D. in Particle Physics from the University of Cambridge, in which she analysed data from the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN. Claire is passionate about making science accessible to as wide an audience as possible and frequently contributes to public discussions about the best strategies to communicate science to diverse audiences.
