So what's the difference?
While Pi Day was created to celebrate the mathematical constant, International Day of Mathematics was brought about to celebrate and highlight the role of mathematics as a whole.
In 2019, UNESCO declared at their 40th General Conference that March 14th would be the International Day of Mathematics. This date was chosen because it was already designated Pi Day in some countries that follow a month/date format, reflecting the simplified version of Pi.
Moreover, whilst only a small percentage of women are involved in engineering in the UK, a recent study found that 80% of female engineers are happy in their job and that 98% of women find their job rewarding.
Whilst engineering remains a male-dominated profession (only around 13% of engineers in the UK are women), the continual rise and growth of women in engineering is undeniably something to celebrate.
Happy International Women's Day!
At PCS Instruments, we're celebrating this by linking back to one of our posts on International Women in Engineering Day.

Thank you so much to our wonderful sponsors @SwRI, @bruker, @nesbearings, @PcsInstruments, @SONGWON_group, @XOM_Chemical, Optimol Instruments Prüftechnik GmbH, @TAMUEngineering for their generous support of our first #STLE #Tribology & Lubrication for E-Mobility Conference.
Unfortunately, we will only be attending virtually and we're happy that we're sponsoring such an innovative conference. The next conference PCS Instruments will be attending in-person is the OilDoc Conference and Exhibition in Rosenheim, Germany, from the 17th– 19th of November.
This exciting new conference covers the new tribological challenges faced by electric vehicles including lubricant thermal and electrical properties, but also familiar issues of transmission, gear and bearing lubrication.
PCS Instruments is proud to sponsor the inaugural @STLE_Tribology Tribology and Lubrication for E-Mobility Conference in San Antonio, Texas (3rd- 5th November).

It's the summer of STEM!
With schools closing for the summer break, we thought we would investigate what is on offer for kids and teens this summer holiday. Check out some of the amazing events we found along with some activities to try at home:

We have four more historical female engineers who created some of the worlds most widely used products and inventions, all of which are still in use today.
We hope you've enjoyed our series on Women in Engineering and learned a little more about engineering history and current experiences in STEM industries. For our final instalment, we talk to Afton Chemical R&D Chemist, Madeleine Partridge.
