Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

It’s important to remember that actively working towards a welcoming safe environment for everyone in science isn’t just the decent thing to do (I’d argue it’s the bare minimum), it also means we do better science!

Take, for example, this study showing underrepresented groups innovate more than their peers (but their work is not taken up by the wider community):

📅 Journée internationale des femmes et des filles de science – UNESCO 🇺🇳



#BlackHistoryMonth is a great time to celebrate astronaut Mae Carol Jemison (born October 17, 1956) a physician who became the first Black woman to travel in space when she went into orbit aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour for NASA, on September 12, 1992! She also has a B.S. in chemical engineering, served in the Peace Corps, is a dancer and choreographer, 🧵

Given my physics teacher (35 years ago) said repeatedly that girls couldn't do physics, I feel like this is a slight improvement 🙄

freyablekman - I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics. Sigh.

So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.

Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM
