SOEP meets Dame Steve Shirley – a coding female pioneer

Dame Stephanie (Steve) Shirley is a game changer in whatever she does and we were delighted that she agreed to chat to Somewhere on Earth. She arrived in England as an unaccompanied child refugee on the Kindertransport in 1939. She convinced her all girls’ school to allow her to learn maths at the boys’ school and in 1962 started a software business from her dining table which grew to have 8,500 employees and was worth US$3bn. The company initially only employed women working from home. Since retiring in 1993, Dame Stephanie’s life has been dedicated to philanthropy in IT and autism including setting up the Oxford Internet Institute.

Brazil’s Supercomputer to predict natural disasters

Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) has finally received funding for a new supercomputer that will significantly improve climate forecasting. The new supercomputer is 15 times more powerful than the institute’s current one and scientists hope it can help the country deal with a massive rise in extreme weather events – last year they averaged more than three a day. Angelica Mari speaks to Clezio Nardin, Inpe’s Director about the project.

The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Angelica Mari.
