Alex Bugg
A young student geek and first-time public speaker is taking to the floor for the next Brum GirlGeeks event, to talk about the single most important thing to us; our DNA. A few words on what it’s made from, how it is unique and how we go from a double helix structure in a cell nucleus to fully formed proteins, before getting hands on and extracting our own DNA (using only household products!).
Sue Jamison-Powell Sue Jamison-Powell (Sheffied University) will talk about the role of online communication in the maintenance of friendship.

A huge thank you to the more than 30 girlgeeks that turned up to our Launch on Saturday for all their nice messages and tweets. We are hoping to catch up with all of you soon and will be uploading the amazing photos taken by Malamute Media to our very own Flickr account very soon. We will also be linking the videos taken by Karen to the site in the next few days.
But fist things first. We have added all the dates for our next events to Lanyrd. We are also planning to start a Meetup profile and will keep you updated when this happens. Booking on to the events is not necessary just at the minute but we want to keep you on the loop with what is happening so you can add dates to your calendar. To see all our future dates please follow this link.
We are working on securing venues for our social and will update you as soon as we have more information. All our socials will be on the 3rd Thursday of the month during the evenings. The events will take place on the 3rd Saturday of the month.
Please do let us know if you have any comments or ideas.
We thought it was appropriate to give our website a little revamp in preparation for our launch and as a space where we can publish more information on our upcoming events.
In the next few days we are hoping to firm down dates for our future events. Which we will announce on our Launch Tea Party.
We hope to see you very soon..!
We have now got a date set for the fist Birminghan Girl Geek event. Come along for our Launch Tea Party on 21st Jan 2:30-5:30pm at Urban Coffee Co. There will be free coffee and cake, a raffle full of geeky goodies thanks to our wonderful sponsors and the opportunity to hear and network with other girl geeks in the area.
We will be featuring presentations from 3 wonderful speakers:
Denise Jacobs – “Let’s Rawk the Web!”
While some conferences support a proactive diversity policy, the common lament industry-wide is the pool of candidates just isn’t large enough to draw from. As women in a male-dominated industry, we need to Rawk The Web: to become more visible, promote our achievements, and make ourselves known as the rockstars we truly are. Let’s chat about how we can build self-esteem, create opportunities, and develop community and meaningful relationships to enable us do just that.
Karen Strunks – 4am Project
Karen Strunks is a photographer and works in social media. She will be giving a short talk on how she has used social media to create one of the largest global collaborative photography projects, the 4am Project (link to http://www.4amproject.org)
Rachel McCollin – Mobile Web Design
Rachel will be talking about how she’s gone from first getting inspired by mobile web design to developing a reputation for her understanding of the topic and writing a book on it in just over a year, and reflecting on how the fast-changing nature of the web design industry means that there’s no better time for women to break into the profession.
We look much forward to seeing you there. For more information and updates follow us on Twitter or like our Facebook page.
Sue Jamison-Powell (Sheffied University) will talk about the role of online communication in the maintenance of friendship.
