Ele Willoughby, PhDFor #printerSolstice2526 prompt fraction my #linocut portrait of Rosalyn Sussman Yalow medical physicist & Nobel laureate for the radioimmunoassay method for measuring concentrations of molecules in blood.
Born to an immigrant Jewish family in the Bronx she went to Hunter College, tuition-free, their 1st physics major & graduated with honours by 19. WWII brought the chance for grad school for woman. 🧵

Quatre femmes scientifiques du CEA bientôt inscrites sur la Tour Eiffel
A l'initiative de l'association Femmes et Sciences, une commission d'experts a dévoilé 72 noms de femmes scientifiques à graver sur la Tour Eiffel. L'objectif : rendre hommage aux contributions majeures des femmes dans le domaine scientifique. Parmi elles, quatre figures qui ont marqué la recherche fondamentale au CEA.

Working on the next print for the #printerSolstice2526 prompt fraction: Rosalyn Sussman Yalow the medical physicist who taught us how to measure substances which were minute fractions of our blood when she, and her medical doctor research partner Solomon Berson, invented the radioimmunoassay. 🧵
Her Maths Story“Looking back, my path has not been linear, and I changed direction more than once; however, what has stayed constant is curiosity, even when the topics and the places were changing. This is also what I like most about mathematics: there is room for many different trajectories, as long as you keep following questions that genuinely interest you.” - Mikaela Iacobelli

Lorena Fernández Álvarez#TalDíaComoHoy nace Maria Winkelmann. Astrónoma que descubrió el “Cometa de 1702”, el 1º descubierto por una mujer. Su marido, también astrónomo, sentía vergüenza de explicar a sus colegas científicos que un hallazgo así lo había hecho su mujer. Así que se atribuyó el mérito.
