On this day, (Friday) March 20 in 1879, Maud Menten was born. She was a Canadian bio-medical and medical researcher who made significant contributions to enzyme kinetics and histochemistry. She is known for her work with Leonor Michaelis on enzyme kinetics in 1913. #Herstory #WomeninSTEM

Happy birthday to 🇨🇦Canadian medical researcher & #biochemist Maud Menten (1879-1960). Not only was she an author of Michaelis-Menten equation for #enzyme kinetics, she invented the azo-dye coupling for alkaline phosphatase, 1st example of enzyme #histochemistry, still used in imaging of tissues today & she also performed the first #electrophoretic separation of blood haemoglobin in 1944!⁠

Es ist wirklich einmal schön zu sehen, dass nicht alle wissenschaftlichen Karrieren linear verlaufen mussten (ja, wir befinden uns in anderen Zeiten...). Die Entdeckerin des inneren Erdkerns, Inge Lehmann, schloss ihr Studium erst mit 32 Jahren ab und veröffentlichte die Hälfte ihrer Publikationen erst nach ihrer Pensionierung (die letzte mit 99 !).

Dr. Roberta Bondar: Canada's First Woman in Space 👩‍🚀🚀

In 1992, Dr. Roberta Bondar became Canada's first female astronaut in space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. A neurologist and researcher, Bondar conducted experiments on the effects of spaceflight on the human body. Her journey inspired many young Canadians, particularly women, to pursue careers in science and technology. 🌎 #Canada #RobertaBondar #WomenInSTEM

for its precision and advocated for its adoption.
She wrote, “It’s made to believe,
Women are the same as Men;
Are you not convinced?
Daughters can also be heroic?”

She died at 29 having achieved so much.

#TalDíaComoHoy Karen Uhlenbeck se convierte en la 1ª mujer que gana el Premio Abel (considerado el Nobel de matemáticas). "Nos dijeron que no podíamos hacer matemáticas porque éramos mujeres. Me gustó hacer lo que se suponía que no debía hacer, fue una especie de rebelión legítima." #WomenInSTEM
