Give Me Inspiration! The Paradigm Shift with Professor Alice Roberts 

She is rather special isn't she ,Prof Alice Roberts ? So easy to understand and her enthusiasm is so infectious!

We need more people like Alice Roberts. Her genuine interest in and love of life is what needed most in our world.

I think your most important contribution is to bring real science and history to ordinary people and, perhaps, inspire our young to enter an academic career.

I'm rather smitten by this beautiful woman, but in watching her over and over again, it is her intelligence and charm that mesmerize me. She really is remarkable... mother, wife and inspiring communicator.

What an incredible Woman. An absolute role model and inspiration to listen to! 👩🏻‍🔬

I knew a woman who had an MSc in Physics. She told me that one of the great advantages to being heavily outnumbered in class was the availability of bathrooms in inter-class breaks.

Professor Roberts' inclusionary personality is much needed... apparently, most especially in the academic realm. I get the feeling she'll have an influence--either directly or indirectly--regardless. Enjoying becoming more familiar with both she and her published material and presentations. Much appreciation from the Midwest, US.

I was told when I was at school that my maths was no good so even though I was good at the sciences (Chemistry especially )I could not do them...I had to do "General Science". There was no encouragement to improve my maths or extra tuition to do so yet I knew boys in the same situation as me who were given the encouragement/tuition to fix that problem. I felt cheated & still do.

A wonderful and engaging discussion between these two highly intelligent ladies. As a 70 year old male, I am astonished and dissapointed that even now, in the 21st Century, females still face discrimination and obstacles, not only for recognition of any present achievements, but also for further advancements in a wide range of careers.Thought provoking, illuminating, and an important conversation that all should take note off - utterly brilliant.

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.". I think Alice Roberts is an inspiration, as are many other science educators and popularisers. Surely being a "jack of all trades" by developing and honing communication skills in the world of media can only improve a scientist's ability to perform in academia.

I find you both to be very inspiring women! Thank you for being yourself, brilliant, confident and excellent communicators.❤ I would suggest introducing the sciences to children at the youngest of age’s. Small scale hands on experimentation showing the fun fascinating aspects of the sciences. This was where my fascination with the sciences began. A dissected field mouse in first grade, Chinese floating lanterns and a cow eyeball how they work & seeds propagation in second grade. A catalyst to butterfly, rock hunting and identification leading into glacial deposits and erosion in third grade. The Odyssey of the Mind competitions also began in third grade (fantastic organization to encourage out of the box problem solving, teamwork and the sciences. World wide and coached by community members who have a passion and a little time). It was a small school (32 students in the graduating class) two classrooms per grade and almost no funding, but everything they taught me has stuck. So much so that I am watching as many lectures as I can find online and still learning more 😊

On the global media enterprise there are people who touch your soul with a great educational easy going value that enriches the inner desire to just understand. Well done, I am happy for you.

Alice is an absolute delight, one of my absolute favorite carbon based bipeds :-)

I love her West Country Accent .

I love her brain & how she engages her audience!

I've written a number of technical books in the areas of highly automated, high speed production and industrial refrigeration. These books covered everything that the plant engineers and maintenance personnel needed to know but were and had to be written at what we, in the United States, call the sixth grade reading level. This is the average reading level someone in our Public Schools at an age of about 12 or 13. I never found it difficult to discuss highly technical things at this vocabulary and sentence structure level. I write for these people in the same way that I would speak to them. I was a blue collar worker for a number of years before I went back to college for my PhD. I believe that my blue color background was a great advantage.

I would choose Alice Roberts over Coldplay anytime!

Alice Robert’s The Human journey

Dr.Roberts you tick all the boxes. You are enormously attractive, you are super reflectively intelligent, your voice could be listened to repeating i for hours on end. But you must seep into the spiritual side just a tag. Because this is just so enormously important. I wish I filmed my dialogue to myself as I repair electronic equipment that I have stupidly wrecked. It is like I am repairing it under direct instructions from my father. Such as: "Remember: Fold the two wires together before you soldier that will hold it for you." It's like he is advising me from "Heaven" or my "DNA".

WHAT A FANTASTIC GIRL--SO INTELLIGENT--SO ILLUMINATING---SO BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY WAY

"I had a bit of a crick in my neck from being pushed up against a glass ceiling for a little bit too long," is so poignant at 13:19.

Gale Hamilton was a very good and well respected Electrical Engineer at Hewlett-Packard in Colorado Springs-more need to be like her!

Excellent conversation, Prof Roberts superb as ever but who is the wonderful older lady, why have we not seen more of her?

About 25 years ago, the young lady who babysat for us said she hoped for a career in science because she was interested in UFOs and crop circles. That's why public engagement is so essential! The problem is even worse now with all the deliberate nonsense and pseudoscience, like creationism and flat earth, spewed out on the internet. Dr Roberts' role is needed and important.

Thank you 🤗

I remember when travelling back from a meeting with my site manager we were analysing various managers and I asked him about me as I was not a manager. He told me I was unique and described me as a virtual manager. A task I carried out until I retired as the pension scheme would have penalised me if I had taken a management post. I have never been interested in the gender or persuasion of anyone, I am interested in the science and technology i.e. the brain. Many academics live in a world far detached from reality. These people live in the real world of science without political affiliation.

Alice has one of the best busts in academia.....su-flippin'-perb.!!.

My brother went on a physical archaeological dig in Greece one time as a paleopathologist and found why the remains found died. Later, he became Medical Examiner for his American county in Minnesota Hennepin County. He had a Bachelors degree in Greek. And an MD and a JD!

I breast fed 3 kids and was so disappointed that no one ever challenged me in public. I think I must have looked terrifying!

I was always taught that inspiration was taken but never given.

I found it very interesting that being involved with the public didn't seem to be considered as part of a University's function in the UK. I may have misinterpreted. However, I know here in the United States it's often considered that a professor should spend one-third of their time teaching, one third of their time in research, and one third of their time actively involved with the community.

You may not know what it is but you certainly have gravitas now and it was Bristol Uni's loss and our gain thankyou

I want more Time Team. Please resurrect that show!

Alice in Wonderland - Time Team ❤

I find the term dumbing-down to be highly offencive. Here in the United States, we have a program called GED where people who failed to graduate from our high schools can get an equivalent certificate. I taught physics and math to participants in this program. I found that I did not need to dumb-down anyting. They could do algebra problems in their head as long as they didn't know it was algebra. I used to spend the first session throwing out word problems I had to be solved using algebra but without telling them it was algebra. I would start the second session by telling them since they already could use algebra at the level needed for the GED program all we had to do was learn the terminology that would be used in algebra problems. Physics was a bit different. However, I found it just as easy. As long as I could relate every physics concept to something these people had experienced in real life, they had no problem understand the physics concept. There are college students in basic physics programs that have a hard time with the Venturi principle. My GED students had no problem with the principal once it was discussed as putting their thumb over the end of an open garden hose. I hate to say this but most of the problems with education are teachers not students. I say that having a PhD in Vocational Education. Alice Roberts is the kind of person who could teach anybody.

there are some humans you can listen too...and you realize they are just more evolved on every front

Because humans mature physically and mentally more slowly than other species, its necessary for them to survive beyond the child bearing years to protect the young and to pass along our learning and experience to the young. Many antelope can walk or run in the same day as they are born and so can more easily evade predators. But human infants need to be protected in a stationary "home base" until they can begin to walk and run to do the hunting and gathering.

I love this lady’s passion for her chosen path. She’d make the perfect dinner guest.

Doc, I have discovered there are two reality time's two TWO seconds apart like the pressure wave on a wing but in time.

May The Lord be with you,sister♡

Gravitas is acting with more patience, taste, and grace than circumstances call for. So, it's a sliding scale. What looks like a lack of gravitas may in fact be more gravitas than is warranted but an observer may be biased by consideration of less than the totality of the circumstances because of the boundaries of space and time: an insufficiently complete and subholistic perspective given rise to an incorrect conclusion that gravitas is absent.

UoB 😍🇬🇧

If you focus on developing the interest of people who hadn't thought about your field, and hen abandon them once they ARE interested, what have you achieved?

It IS basically basically impossible. Who has a stat at home husband?! That isnt cheating in you? Ive breastfed at college and it was HORRIBLE. Think that baby enjoyed 5 months of traveling? Some mothers cant make that sacrifice. I still adore and admire Alice, hope her husband stays that supportive.

YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL.

Professor Roberts you have enormous gravitas. I'm horrified by the story of how Bristol treated you.

Professor Bob says, Two things you do not want to see. How they make sausage and how they make decisions in higher education. Das tut mir Leid.

WE MUST MUST VERY QUICKLY DO SOMETHING TO BLOCK OUT THE SUN LIKE A HUGE EARTH UMBRELLA.🌂 🌎

Alice gives me inspiration im in love

Alice Roberts Ace

I think she will be the female Richard Dawkins.

Professor at the University of Birmingham :)

Can anyone out there tell me if Earth's magnetosphere isn't downgrading and increased more powerful Cosmic waves are getting through?

Doc, I already told you... you were digging around in a pit in a singlet... I was just watching to watch the documentary... but then you kept bending over digging with your Trowel. If I kept rewinding that VHS tape then everyone was rewinding that VHS tape. This is how you got famous. You just have a great body. 👍👍

Take URE time to be you Alice

😍🤯?

A surgeon ?I miss heard I thought she said I failed to be a virgin 😂😂

Like Darwin, she left surgery to make history.

OMG... You are Beautiful.

Plus: Which came first? The Butt or the Head?

We apologize for your Read... Butt you can thank Us for the Tally.

You forgot to ask why men do not drop out of their careers at the same rate as women. The answer is that 1) it is not socially acceptable for a man to quit their career, 2) it is not economicalky viable for most ment to drop out of their career. The solution to balancing the sexes is either 1) put women under the same pressure as men (and watch the population implode) or 2) for career women to keep homemaker husbands.

Alice Roberts is very good at being on the telly, and she's certainly exceedingly easy on the retina, but I dispute the assertion that she's a "distinguished academic".

Both ladies are impressive in their own right. But Alice could make even Jesus contemplate humanism. She does however back good over evil.

No it's not... just knock off all us man.

the male female divide really is down to childbirth, a woman with a child has new priority's the child is number 1 where as a mans pressure is to bring home the bacon and feed the family making him more reliable from an employers point of view ........and thats not sexist its just mostly fact, im talking generally because not all situations are exactly the same but overall

As a Creationist I absolutely and totally disagree with Alice one thousand per cent. But WOW!!!! Isn't she BEAUTIFUL.

Highly disrespectful of religion and religious people

Maybe girls aren’t interested in physics??? Did you stop to consider that? Or would you rather make girls study physic??. I’ve always found people will gravitate and study what they’re interested in. It’s not all sexism/misogyny.

24 minutes in; "hard sciences". I always thought that the word hard meant without feelings, as in math and engineering rather than people orientated sciences like medicine. A couple of minutes later we get breast feeding on TV set. Nobody complained "maybe they thought you were hormonal and stayed away". So if men complain they are sexist, if they don't complain they are sexist. This conversation is rather sexist in itself. I am less than impressed and 30 minutes in, will stop watching.

She's very interesting but always makes a point to be anti God .

I like this woman's work but i see women as interfering with the men. Deliberately by feminist aggresions and generally. It dumbs everything down but more importantly it takes from the men what we deserve. The more prestigious professions are the more should they be dominated by men after agreeing to a social contract, recent, for allowing both sexes to aim at these things.
