Meet your climate data heroes: Rebecca Lindsey, Mary Lindsey, and Anna Eshelman. The trio of former NOAA employees lost their jobs after the Trump administration shut down Climate.gov — to save the essential data and resources on the site, they rebuilt it under Climate.us.

Women in leadership often face a double standard: assertiveness is "too aggressive," while showing empathy is "too soft."

In reality, women who lead with both compassion and determination challenge outdated stereotypes and pave the way for a more inclusive and effective leadership model.

Happy birthday to Indian #botanist E.K. Janaki Ammal (1897-1984), here with plants she studied: #sugarcane, #magnolia & eggplant. 🧪🐡👩🏾‍🔬 #histsci

A trailblazer for #womenInSTEM in India, expert in cytogenetics, phytogeography, coauthor Chromosomal Atlas of Plants, 1st Indian woman PhD & early woman 🧵
My linocut portrait of Janaki Ammal on speckled cream coloured washi paper, in purple ink, seated, in a sari and looking over her shoulder. There are mitosis diagrams on her sari. She is surrounded by plants she worked on: sugarcane in green to her left, magnolia with purple-brown branches and white blossoms outlined in silver to her right and a purple eggplant with pink blossom, and green leaves and stem at the bottom.

Happy birthday to one of greatest #mathematicians of all time Emmy Noether (1882-1935), here with her eponymous theorem, the backbone of modern physics. 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬🧮🎢 #histsci Noether’s theorem links any symmetry of a system with a conservation law. In my portrait, I chose to depict a young Emmy in front 🧵
My linocut portrait of Emmy Noether in front of a blackboard with diagrams and equations. Noether is printed in blue. She has her hair up and wears a pin-striped buttoned shirt with puffy sleeves, bow tie, tweed skirt with belt and is shown from waist up, turned slightly away from the viewer. The blackboard is green and shows a simple form of Noether’s equations at the top. On the left are three diagrams to represent translational symmetry (a frame of reference or 3 orthogonal axes and a straight diagonal arrow to a second frame of reference); rotational symmetry (a frame of reference and curved arrow to a second rotated frame of reference); and time symmetry (two simple clocks with an arrow between them and their hands at different places). On the right are the three associated conserved quantities: momentum (a p with arrow above it); angular momentum (an L with arrow above it); and energy (E).

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪

Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.

I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

For #printersolstice prompt gold, my #linocut of Sophie Brahe (1556 or 1559-1643) 👩🏼‍🔬🔭🧪🐡 #histsci horticulturalist, astronomer, genealogist, & alchemist with the gardens at her brother astronomer Tycho Brahe’s Uraniborg estate, where she often assisted his research, alchemical tools & illustration of
My 11” x 14” linocut portrait of Sophie Brahe, a Renaissance aristocrat in headgear, ruff, dark clothing with medallion on a wide band and a long scarf or other thin fabric draped over her shoulders with her hands folded in front of her and alchemical vessels, printed in dark bronze ink, on a bronze background. In green behind her head is a map of the gardens at Uranienborg, with her head at the centre of the diamond shaped pale green knot garden (geometric planned gardens). This is surrounded by an orchard in darker green with semicircle bump outs on each side of the diamond. The stars of Cassiopeia from De stelle nova are printed in gold on top of everything; there are stars across her chest and ruff and in the garden and the large supernova is above her head.

March 22 is #WorldWaterDay & an apt birthday for Japanese #geochemist Katsuko Saruhashi (1920-2007) who created tools that allowed her to make 1st measurements of CO2 in seawater, raised the alarm about nuclear fallout, tracing it in oceans & researched peaceful uses of nuclear power. 🐡🧪👩🏻‍🔬⚒️ 🧵#histsci
Printed in a gradient of dark blue-green at the bottom through dark blue to light blue at the top, this is my 9.25” x 12.5” portrait of Japanese geochemist in the lab adjusting a round bottomed flask with other posts and an array of chemical glassware in the foreground. In the background are carved ocean waves so the top looks like sky over wavy ocean

Two memes are going around about the origin of the word “scientist.” One: Mary Somerville came up with it. The other: William Whewell coined it as a joke about Somerville.

Truth: WW coined it, then wrote it for the first time in a highly positive review of MS’s book!🧪

Mary Somerville’s vision of science
The Scottish mathematician and writer shaped the way we think about science and carved a place for herself in the intellectual world of the 19th century.
