#OnThisDay, 20 Apr 1902, Maria Skłodowska-Curie and Pierre Curie refine radium chlorine. The discovery leads to Marie being the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903.

The Academy originally planned to award only Pierre and Henri Becquerel. Pierre insisted that Marie should also be included.

The Elementary Institute of Science in San Diego does a phenomenal job of bringing #science to young, curious minds. Was such an honor to visit them. Major props for #KeepingScienceAlive! (especially now, sigh...)

(This was SO MUCH FUN! Thank you for having me!) ⚛️🧪🔭 #WomenInSTEM #scicomm

Blue Origin's recent all-female flight featuring Katy Perry, Gayle King, and Lauren Sánchez has ignited discussions.
Is this a genuine leap for gender representation in space, or a blend of science and celebrity?
Explore the nuances:

I saw story in Chicago Sun-Times about this week's space flight. It ended talking about the need to create more STEM learning opportunities for kids in high poverty areas. That was the theme of these article on my #Tutor #Mentor blog. tutormentor.blogspot.com/search/label... #womeninSTEM

Happy birthday to #biochemist Marie Maynard Daly (1921-2003), 1st Black woman to earn a PhD in #chemistry in the US! She made important research contributions to our understanding of the biochemisty of the cell nucleus & cardiovascular issues & the chemistry of histones & protein synthesis. She established that “no bases other than adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine were present in appreciable amounts” in DNA - 🧵

@AkaSci women in these professions, more #womenInSTEM! We had women #astronauts on the ISS who are real scientists - they do much more for girls to like STEM and becoming astronauts!
Please be aware that the NASA had stuff for girls and deleted it for Trump! https://www.space.com/space-exploration/nasa-website-removes-first-woman-graphic-novel-but-heres-where-you-can-still-find-it

And therefore, it has a very bitter aftertaste that Trump supporter Bezos is instrumentalizing these women for these billionaires' #TESCREAL ideologies, not for women's best! They fight women on all levels.

NASA website removes 'First Woman' graphic novel — but here's where you can still find it

The interactive female astronaut series was created to inspire a new generation of space explorers.
