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 - 🧵

My linocut portrait of Marie Maynard Daly in purples (she’s a young smiling Black woman, wearing earrings, a necklace and a dress, looking at the viewer over her shoulder). Above her to the right is an anatomical heart with a blowout diagram in a circle of a clogged artery and the cholesterol molecule all in red. Next to her on the left in blue are the molecules of the bases which make up DNA and a diagram of a human cell.

@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! space.com/space-exploration/na

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.

I really enjoyed @Felienne's narrative about narratives about Computer Science yesterday. She applied some of the ideas presented in the Glaciers, Gender and Science paper (journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/1) to her experiences in the Computer Science / Programming Languages communities. She's also starting a reading club to brainstorm the meaning (and the name?) of the field of "Computer Science".

Felienne presents a slide in which a cartoon version of herself says "'Programming language' is a social construct", and presents a timeline where the 1960s are labelled with two quotes: "Programming requires patience and eye for detail ..." and "Women are naturals at computer programming".
Felienne presents her title slide: A narrative about narratives about Computer Science. She drew cute cartoons of her and her collaborator.
Felienne presents a slide with a cartoon picture of herself, with a thought bubble that visualises the bias that "hard = value" and "easy != value" through the metaphor of the fact that we know more about remote glaciers high up in mountains than about glaciers that are right next to where people live.

This is Sechi Katō (1893-1989) in 1918. It's her graduation photo from a women's college in Tokyo.

Eventually she would become the first woman principal investigator at RIKEN, Japan's national chemistry & physics institute. She faced incredibly daunting hurdles before then...

Formal photographic portrait of Sechi Katō in 1918. She is wearing traditional Japanese clothing, with her hair up in a large sokugami bun.

Some numbers. $2,500 is left on our fundraiser. We're halfway. I'd freaking love to hit that.

But if we can't, bare-bones I need $300 for a generator rental (we are off-grid and fully self-powered. More funds and I'll do bigger solar this gear), $100 for educational decor, and I pulled $700 from my (meager) savings for poorer campers already.

$1,100 would do a LOT.

Two people dressed in femme outfits leaning in opposite directions each helping two younger kids with a soldering project on folding tables outdoors in a pop-up tent. Behind them hang colorful posters talking about electronics.
A woman in an aesthetic outfit is standing in front of a large group of colorfully dressed people showing off something on an iPad. Behind her are various glowing LED projects.
A glowing blue tent with a rainbow sign at the top that says "There U Glow" at the top has green overlayed text. The text reads "An all femme and queer founded, designed and run electronics camp in Portland, Oregon We are aggressively grassroots and rudely dedicated to femme folks who are freshly interested and/or fiercely expert in technical skill. We kick ass and open our source in equal measure. Keep track, we won’t stop." At the bottom is "www.thereuglow.club"

Happy birthday to Canadian 🇨🇦 geneticist Irene Ayako Uchida (1917-2013)! In my #linocut Uchida is shown surrounded by chromosones, with anomalies (shown with pink arrows) due to radiation exposure, based on one of her research papers. A strand of DNA is hidden in the image (as her watchband).⁠
⁠
Uchida didn’t set out to be a scientist. She was studying English literature at UBC, before she was interned 🧵1/n

Linocut portrait of geneticist Irene Ayako Uchida (handsome, middle age woman of Japanese heritage with curly hair with a white streak on her right temple, with an open, thoughtful face) leaning on folded arms in a white button down shirt with a small watch with double-helix watchband on her wrist, in dark teal-grey ink. She is surrounded by chromosomes in gold, from one of her papers. The anomalous ones are pointed out with small pink arrows.

Caroline #Herschel was an absolutely fascinating woman: stunted by a childhood encounter with typhus, she was actively stopped from learning more by her mother. Yet, she prevailed, becoming the first woman to get a salary as a scientist and the first woman to be employed by the government in England:

🐵 Happy Birthday, Dr. Jane Goodall! Born on this day in 1934, Jane Goodall is an anthropologist, primatologist, and conservationist. She is considered the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees. Her work revolutionized our understanding of what it means to be human and proved that women could be successful as scientists in a world previously dominated by men. 1/2
