STEM Women

We celebrate this recognition of @CatrionaWaitt who works with @AfricanWomenSci to break down barriers and transform culture to make STEM careers a realistic goal for young women from diverse backgrounds. @MentorshipMuii @medicalwomenuk @STEMWomen @WomenScienceDay

The average UK manufacturing company is currently made up of 85% men & 15% women (@MichaelPageUK). The #CEDAW Committee has urged the UK to enhance women’s #STEM participation & #education, which would strengthen implementation of Art. 11 on equal employment opportunities. 🏭

I finally found out what this is for! The database was created, in part, so nobody has an excuse to NOT invite a #woman scientist to their talks/panels/seminars etc. People still say: "Oh, but we don't know any women scientists in this field." @500womensci @500wsMumbai @Labia_LBT

We made it into Forbes ‼️☺️ I can’t say THANK YOU enough to the incredible @BlackInNeuro organizing team because TOGETHER we made all of it possible 😭💞 & thank you @nic_fisher for valuing our efforts enough to write about it 💛 forbes.com/sites/nicolefi… #BlackInNeuroWeek ✊🏾🧠

Who was Marie Curie ? How did her persistence and hard work resulted in finding Radium that helped transform the world for better ? ➡️youtu.be/LM77kE8vvUY #WomenInSTEM #WomeninScience #science @STEMWomen @GEMF_RSEF #FridayMotivation @500womensci @4womeninscience @WoGiSci

Dr. Lynnae Quick of @NASAGoddard wondered if these “ocean worlds” are common across the galaxy. Quick and her colleagues conducted a mathematical analysis of several dozen exoplanets and found that more than 1/4 of the sample could contain oceans. go.nasa.gov/3eeUtAE

Since #BlackinAstro is trending, here are my more fully fleshed out thoughts on why I left the field in the fall. Hint: it's not me, it's you 🤗🌌 #BlackintheIvory #BlackInSTEM @lauren.marietta/a-break-up-letter-with-astronomy-from-a-young-black-woman-a30de24fe209" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@lauren.mariet…

Did you know during this decade that the FIRST Black women Astrochemists in the US will receive their PhDs? Here's their names and respective order: Jamila Pegues Ayanna Jones (@onlyayanna_) Bryné Hadnott Jherian Mitchell-Jones Ashley Walker (me) Kathleen Rink #BlackInAstro

Barbara Williams, the first Black American woman to get an Astronomy PhD, used the Arecibo Observatory here in Puerto Rico in 1984 to reveal galaxy group MKW10 as a very active and young compact cluster. #AmplifyBlackSTEM #BlackInAstro #AreciboScience @NAICobservatory

The wildlife conservationist Corina Newsome helped organize #BlackBirdersWeek after a white woman called the cops on a black birdwatcher in Central Park. nyer.cm/Nz1U6lE

MiOra Team Sharon Matesun (Drexel Univ. PA), Indiara Gonzalez-Ortiz (Georgia  State Univ.), Caitlyn Kellogg (UC San Diego), Brianna Rochebrun (Florida Atlantic Univ.) working on a project to understand the pediatricians challenges to provide care to children during #COVID-19

Those days it was still under Mysore University. She went on to do her MSc in Physics, also from  Central College, and was the only woman in her batch. She was awarded the Silver Medal in MSc (Physics). Below is a photograph of the BSc class, circa 1943. @CMofKarnataka

Let’s celebrate #ValentinasDay2020! I'll be hosting a special panel featuring @tanyaofmars, @black_ice_himal, & @shawnapandya. We'll be discussing the past, present, & future of #WomenInSpace. Facebook Live, 9 am PDT at Dr.Sian.Proctor. #Space2inspire #WomenInSpace #WomenInStem

This interview with @ScienceMagazine ended up being much deeper, much more transparent than I anticipated. Thank you, @k_langin, for providing a platform for me to share my heart. #BlackBirdersWeek @BlackAFinSTEM sciencemag.org/careers/2020/0…

It's Day One of #BlackBirdersWeek! The first ever week dedicated to visibility, awareness, and dialogue. We're kicking it off by celebrating our love of the outdoors and being #BlackInNature. Use that hashtag to share yours! Now, allow me to introduce myself! @ldpharr
