Join NDAC and Milena Droumeva, professor at Simon Fraser University, B.C., for a FemCon
presentation about the objectification of women in the gaming world today from 2-3 p.m. via Zoom. We often focus on the way female characters are visually objectified in games, but
Droumeva sounds out the impact of audio in video games, and how portrayals of female
characters in games have significantly impacted gaming experiences. “If we can’t represent
women as fully human, how can we think as women as fully human?" That includes how
women sound in games… from Mortal Kombat to the Last of Us Part 2… the quiet evolution
of female voice in games.
Vincent Realmuto, principal scientist in the Earth Surface and Interior Group at the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory pioneered the use of multispectral TIR image data to map
volcanic SO2 plume. His Geoscience Seminar presentation on Friday, March 31 at 11:45 a.m. via Zoom will review the fundamentals of TIR remote sensing and outline procedures
to accommodate the sensitivity to environmental factors. Zoom Meeting ID: 830 4495
