Jessica Alice Feinmann Wade BEM (born October 1988)[5] is a British physicist in the Blackett Laboratory at Imperial College London, specialising in Raman spectroscopy.

She continued at Imperial, completing her PhD in physics in 2016,[4][20] where her work in nanometrology in organic semiconductors was supervised by Ji-Seon Kim.

[3] As of 2020[update], Wade is a postdoctoral research associate in plastic electronics in the solid-state physics group at Imperial College London, focusing on developing and characterising light-emitting polymer thin films,[21][9] working with Alasdair Campbell[8] and Matthew Fuchter.

[24] Wade has contributed to public engagement to increase gender equality in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects.

She represented the UK on the United States Department of State funded International Visitor Leadership Program Hidden No More,[25] and served on the WISE Campaign Young Women's Board and Women's Engineering Society (WES) Council, working with teachers across the country through the Stimulating Physics Network (including keynote talks at education fairs and teacher conferences).

[34] She cites her influences as Sharmadean Reid, Lesley Cohen, Jenny Nelson[6] and Angela Saini, particularly her book Inferior.

[46][47] With Ben Britton and Christopher Jackson, she co-authored "The reward and risk of social media for academics" in the journal Nature Reviews Chemistry.

[56] The op-ed emphasized the power of social media like Twitter and collaborative information repositories like Wikipedia for crediting women's scientific contributions.

As an example of insufficient coverage in the English-language Wikipedia of women in science, the article points to the deletion of the biography of Clarice Phelps.

[60] Katrina Krämer wrote in Chemistry World:[61] In Phelps' case, her name didn’t appear in the articles announcing tennessine's discovery.

Most mentions of her work are on her employer's website – a source that's not classed as independent by Wikipedia standards and therefore not admissible when it comes to establishing notability.

[72] Wade was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) in the 2019 Birthday Honours for services to gender diversity in science.
