When I visited my nephew's school library, I cried because I live in TX that closes school libraries & turns them into Discipline Centers.

Molecular biologist Dr. Shirley Tilghman (b. #OTD in 1946) discovered genomic imprinting.

+ Founding member, NIH Nat'l Advisory Council for the Human Genome Project (her guidance directly shaped how the 3 billion base pairs of human DNA were mapped)
+ 1st female president of Princeton

#WomenInSTEM

A professional outdoor portrait of Dr. Shirley Tilghman (born September 17, 1946), the groundbreaking molecular biologist and first female president of Princeton University. Captured from the chest up, she stands in a relaxed, forward-facing pose against a softly blurred background of lush green trees and foliage. She smiles warmly and widely directly at the camera, projecting an approachable and confident demeanor. Her straight, chin-length silver hair is styled with a side part, elegantly framing her face. She wears a light beige or off-white structured blazer layered over a matching tan collarless shirt, with a prominent standing tan linen collar framing her neckline. A distinctive modern necklace made of small, cylindrical metallic tubes alternating in silver and dark grey tones adds a polished accent. The natural daylight creates a bright, uplifting composition, evoking a mood of professional excellence, joyful intellect, and historic leadership in academia and STEM.

The War on Terror began 25 years ago today, when Congress passed the post-9/11 Authorization for Use of Military Force.

Only one member of Congress had the courage and foresight to oppose this blank check for forever wars: Barbara Lee.
