Breaking The Mold 2017: part conference, part hackathon, focused on bringing diverse teams and skillsets together to tackle the issue of unconscious bias. <br>
The Breaking the Mold Hackathon is focused on leveraging MIT's community of innovation and creativity to create solutions to hack unconscious bias. The hackathon will being together individuals from diverse backgrounds to solve some of the world's most pressing issues. <br>
Research suggests that diverse groups perform better, and that a culture of meritocracy alone is not enough to generate groups that reflect the diversity of our society. We all have biases, conscious and unconscious, and being aware of and managing these biases can help organizations boost diversity among leadership groups.<br>

Ever wonder why you become exhausted at large events, while some of your friends seem energized by them? Do you sometimes hesitate to raise your hand in class, while others seem eager to speak? If these scenarios sound familiar, you may be on the introverted side of the introversion-extroversion spectrum. Recent data suggests there may be a biological basis behind this behavior and there are accompanying positive aspects to the way introverts think and behave.<br>
Dr. Heidi Kasevich, will be coming to MIT on Feb 27, 3-4 pm (E25-111) to present the latest on what is known about the introversion-extroversion spectrum and will discuss how introverts can use their natural inclinations in order to become self-confident and successful. She will also discuss biological differences in decision making. Dr. Kasevich seeks to help others understand how we can use both self-awareness and data from behavioral research to optimize our ability to lead in today’s world.</font></div>

<strong>When:</strong> Monday, February 27th, 6:30PM<br>
<strong>Where:</strong> WorkBar Cambridge | 45 Prospect St., Cambridge, MA 02139<br>
Harvard Book Store welcomes local science writer NATHALIA HOLT—former Fellow at the Ragon Institute of Massachusetts General Hospital, MIT and Harvard University and author of Cured: The People Who Defeated HIV—for the paperback release of her book, Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, from Missiles to the Moon to Mars.<br>
<strong>About Rise of the Rocket Girls</strong><br>
The riveting true story of the women who launched America into space.<br>
In the 1940s and 50s, when the newly minted Jet Propulsion Laboratory needed quick-thinking mathematicians to calculate velocities and plot trajectories, they didn't turn to male graduates. Rather, they recruited an elite group of young women who, with only pencil, paper, and mathematical prowess, transformed rocket design, helped bring about the first American satellites, and made the exploration of the solar system possible. <br>
For the first time, Rise of the Rocket Girls tells the stories of these women—known as "human computers"—who broke the boundaries of both gender and science. Based on extensive research and interviews with all the living members of the team, Rise of the Rocket Girls offers a unique perspective on the role of women in science: both where we've been, and the far reaches of space to which we're heading. </span></div>
