Happy birthday to the only two women with elements named after them on the periodic table: #MarieCurie & #LiseMeitner.

As I do every year, I will once again repeat my proposal that November 7 should be International #WomenInSTEM Day!

The squares for Curium and Meitnerium from periodictable.com, featuring portraits of their respective namesakes, are presented above a caption "Only two women have chemical elements named after them. Both were born on November 7th." (I'm aware that there was some ambiguity surrounding Lise Meitner's birthday, but Ruth Lewin Sime's biography notes that Meitner celebrated the occasion on November 7.)
