South African teenager Bohlale Mphahlele developed an innovative personal safety device designed to look like a simple piece of jewelry. Known as the Alerting Earpiece, the device is built to resemble a regular earring while discreetly containing a small camera and emergency alert system. When activated, the earpiece can capture images and send a distress signal to selected contacts. The alert can also include the wearer’s live GPS location, helping trusted individuals or emergency responders locate the person quickly. The idea behind the design is to provide a discreet safety tool that can be used in situations where reaching for a phone or drawing attention may not be possible. Mphahlele presented the concept at the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists, where the project received recognition from judges and education officials. Her invention highlights how young innovators are using technology to address real-world challenges, particularly around personal safety and rapid emergency communication.

Women hold only 29% of C-suite roles, and the AI gap is making it worse. Only 21% of entry-level women are encouraged to use AI tools at work, compared to 33% of men. The gap isn't about ability, but about whether companies are setting women up to succeed: newsweek.com/ai-hype-cycle-…

Happy birthday to the late Lynn Margulis, born on this day in 1938. 👩🏻‍🔬 While mainstream biology focused on competition, she argued cooperation was just as vital to evolution. A true scientific rebel who changed how we understand life! 🧬 🔗 scientificamerican.com/blog/cross-che… #WomenInSTEM

Sister Mary Kenneth Keller was told computers were “not for women”. She ignored it, earned a PhD, and became the first woman in the U.S. to receive a doctorate in computer science, helping shape modern programming languages.

🧪 Dr. Barbara Huber is recreating 3,500-year-old smells from ancient Egyptian mummification rituals using chemical analysis and perfumers. She calls it a "time machine for the nose," and that description could not be more perfect. 👃 🔗 theguardian.com/science/2026/f… #WomenInSTEM
