Hard to top a woman who helped an entire generation of women break into male dominated STEM fields because of a character she played in a TV show.

#OTD in 1903, Marie Curie became the first woman to win a #Nobel Prize (#Physics).

AND

#OTD in 1935, her daughter Irene Joliot-Curie won the Nobel Prize in #Chemistry for the discovery of artificial radioactivity.

They're the only mother–daughter pair to have both won Nobel Prizes. #WomenInSTEM

The two-time Nobel laureate is captured mid-experiment, focused and composed. Black-and-white photograph of Irène Joliot-Curie in a white lab coat at the Radium Institute. Marie Curie’s daughter and 1935 Nobel Chemistry co-winner stands at a workbench lined with beakers, test tubes, and glassware, her expression serious and concentrated amid the tools of radioactivity research.

Where scientists are often portrayed as white men working alone in labs, Agent Scully from The X-Files stood out in the 90s as the only female STEM character in a prominent, primetime television role

This is a study of the influence of Dana Scully on girls & ladies pertaining to STEM, #ScullyEffect
Key Findings • STEM representation increases STEM self-confidence in women: Among women who are familiar with Scully's character, 63% say Scully increased their confidence that they could excel in a male-dominated profession. • Role models matter: Among women who are familiar with Scully's character, 91% say she is a role model for girls and women. • Countering gender stereotypes is notable: Women in the sample were asked about various attributes of Scully's. The most frequently used words to describe her were "smart," "intelligent," and "strong". Recommendations • Increase counter-stereotypical depictions of STEM characters: Among the factors identified as contributing to this gender gap is a stereotype frequently rendered in entertainment media: a lone, "nerdy" scientist in a lab coat, commonly portrayed as a "mad scientist" or a socially awkward white man. This portrayal reinforces the belief that science is a male pursuit, one that is held by many children, adolescents, and adults. • Increase counter-stereotypical depictions of STEM environments: Defy the "boys' club image" in set design and in creating STEM spaces. For example, high school classrooms decorated with stereotypical male-coded themes (e.g., Star Trek posters) diminished girls' interest in taking a STEM course. Girls' interest matched boys' only when posters of art and nature replaced what the study calls "geeky" decor, but boys' interest was not negatively impacted by the classroom environment. • Encourage female STEM characters on-screen: Studies have identified many causes of the STEM gender gap, including stereotypes, lack of early encouragement from parents and teachers, and gender discrimination in STEM fields.

Hey und salut @artede.bsky.social
Ich finde es sehr ehrenwert und cool, dass ihr den Scully-Effekt in einer Doku beleuchtet!
Aber why, warum so kurz? Warum dauert die Doku nur fünf Minuten?
Macht doch eine längere 1 1/2 Stunden Doku über den Scully-Effekt, s'il vous plait. 🥺
#ScullyEffect
Eine Programmankündigung auf Arte TV für "Flick Flack - der Scully-Effekt. Die geniale FBI Agentin Dana Scully war Vorbild für eine ganze Generation junger Frauen." Die Doku hat leider nur eine Dauer von 5 Minuten.

Dana Scully demuestra que “lo que ves, puedes serlo”; por eso es clave representar a más mujeres referentes en ciencias forenses y STEM.
