Hey do you want to read a bunch of lists about women in STEM? Good news! It was just International Women’s Day and everyone had the same idea! Super into it.
Lady Scientists
+ These Black Female Mathematicians Should Be Stars in the Blockbusters of Tomorrow
+ 12 incredible women you’ve never heard of who changed science forever (probably you’ve heard of one or two of them, though)
+ 9 female nature writers who will inspire you to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet
+ 12 unstoppable women who are making tech a better place for everyone
+ 15 Women Leading in European Biotech
+ Um this is awesome: The Pioneer of Graphic Adventure Games Was a Woman
Via Compound Interest.
Meltdown
+ Nature posted about women scientists being attacked on social media
+ EPA environmental justice leader resigns, amid White House plans to dismantle program
+ NASA’s new budget is big on other worlds but ignores our own. I’m kind of torn on how I feel about this. Maybe because my expectations for this administration are so low, I wasn’t even sure they’d allow space research to continue?
Geekery Grab Bag
+ Why Whales Leap Into the Air: “After hundreds of hours of observations, we now know it’s true: breaching humpback whales are yelling.”
+ The Roosevelt Tree Army poisoning
+ NASA: Six Things You Don’t Know About Snow
+ California is making a whole lot of solar power
+ What is uranium? Trump apparently doesn’t know, but you can/should
+ Check out this fan film MIT students made about Riri Williams, the new Iron Man:
Can’t Hold Us Down
+ Nurturing New Black and Latino Math Whizzes
+ Here’s an annotated list of important recent studies on Gender Bias in Academe
+ It’s time to change the face of psychology
+ Nikola Tesla on gender equality:
This struggle of the human female toward sex equality will end in a new sex order, with the female as superior. The modern woman, who anticipates in merely superficial phenomena the advancement of her sex, is but a surface symptom of something deeper and more potent fermenting in the bosom of the race.
Same, bro.
Do Make Say Think
+ Tutorial Tuesday: What 3D Design Software Should I Use?
+ Official March For Science fundraising merch is now available
Notes From A Queer Engineer is a recurring column with an expected periodicity of 14 days. The subject matter may not be explicitly queer, but the industrial engineer writing it sure is. This is a peek at the notes she’s been doodling in the margins.
12 incredible women you’ve never heard of who changed science forever => Rita Levi-Montalcini (1909-2012) was the first Nobel Prize winner to reach the age of 100″, and also classy af.
This was my thought exactly. I want to be her when I grow up.
Me too.
Oh wow. We can only aspire to that level of class.
On the NASA article:
Why do I get the impression that Agent Orange is only interested in Mars so that his company can get the first dibs on Martian real estate?
:/

Amazing article. The amount of material amazing. I shared many of the articles with my likeminded friends and will save this for future reference.
So happy to hear that!
