They work in the field of satellite positioning and specialize in next-generation GNSS. They are also an anti-imperialist intersectional LGBTQIA+ activist. Also a fellow member of the WIA-E and involved with several of its working groups. They also run a volunteer organization Sexisme Flop.\nIn this episode, we dive into the future of satellite navigation, explaining how optical inter-satellite links could make systems like Galileo more accurate, secure, and resilient. The conversation then shifts to Cécile's equally impactful work as an intersectional LGBTQIA+ activist, co-founder of employee resource groups at DLR, and advocate for creating more inclusive workplaces in the aerospace sector.\nFrom unpacking the hidden applications of positioning and timing services in everyday life - from power grids to banking, to sharing hard-won lessons on calling out microaggressions, building allyship, and driving institutional change, Cécile offers both technical depth and deep personal insights into what it means to show up fully - as a researcher and as oneself in a highly technical field.\nChapters:","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/stRokdU2r3ESYznjokNkaZufqZbvj5HNOPJWXbU1Y-A/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE2OTEyLzE2MDc4/NjA1NjQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
