This International Women\u2019s Day, which has been celebrated since 1911, as a global celebration of the economic, jackpot party casino reviews political and social achievements of women, we want to highlight women in the hydrogen industry. The number of women participating in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields has increased<\/a> in recent years. Still, researchers estimate<\/a> that even now, women\u2019s stories make up only 0.5 percent of recorded history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We don\u2019t hear nearly enough about women in hydrogen, but they are out there, and are working on some very cool, innovative technology that is changing how society is addressing climate change. For more than 25 years, women have been integral to teams and leadership in hydrogen and fuel cell engineering, material science, finance, HR, marketing, sales, administration, manufacturing, purchasing, services, policy development, and jackpot party casino slots so many other areas. We\u2019re proud to have previously highlighted the life and work of amazing women at Plug Power, like Katlyn Conaway<\/a>, Sandra Saathoff<\/a>, Amy Fitzgerald<\/a>, and Natalie Bova<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fun Fact: Cecilia Payne, is one of the most influential and overlooked female astronomers in the history of science. She was instrumental in discovering the ubiquity of hydrogen in our universe, and the data she derived for her 1925 dissertation are likely the most significant contributions to our modern understanding of the true composition of stars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2020, the Hydrogen Council featured more than 40 women from many different companies as part of their Women in Hydrogen social media campaign. Among these were Plug Power\u2019s Tammy Kimble, VP Human Resources, Teal Hoyos, Director of Marketing, and Amanda Monthie, Talent Acquisition Director. And in 2019, FuelCellsWorks wrote a blog<\/a> featuring some of the faces of women in hydrogen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, in honor of International Women\u2019s Day, Women in Hydrogen is sponsoring \u201cHydrogen in the USA,\u201d<\/a> a virtual event featuring top female leaders in hydrogen and fuel cells for a fireside chat and topical panels geared towards both the experienced hydrogen practitioner and passionate newcomer. The lineup includes Corine Dubruel, Plug Power\u2019s Vice President Strategy and Public Affairs for jackpot party casino reviews Europe. Alongside her will be leaders from Cummins, the U.S. Department of Energy, EPRI, Rice University, FuelCell Energy, and Tacoma Power. The focus is on learning, connecting and empowering women in the hydrogen and energy transition space. Register for the event here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s celebrate the achievements of women in the hydrogen and fuel cell industry. There\u2019s still a lot of work to be done \u2013 to build the industry and to increase the percentage of women working within it \u2013 and we\u2019re all in because we know that teams do better work when diverse groups of people come together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n #InfiniteDrive<\/p>\n\n\n\n
