Thanks ABC Radio Canberra for having us on their Sunday Brunch show this morning to talk all about @sci_burst and #scicomm 💖💃👩‍🔬

@theEllamo and I had a great time chatting with Kim Huynh! Honoured to be called a Can-Do Canberran on my live #radio debut 💪🎙️

You can listen to the interview here, starting at about 34:52 minutes left: abc.net.au/listen/programs/can

Happy birthday to #entomologist Margaret Fountaine (1862-1940), here in my #linocut with many #butterflies from her collection.

Her posthumous books featured her “wild and fearless life,” but she was also a trailblazing famous #Victorian #lepidopterist, published in The Entomologist’s Record and Journal of Variations, expert on tropical butterflies, discovering, documenting, breeding & gathering specimens 🧵

My linocut portrait of Margaret Fountaine, a Victorian woman in elaborate hat with wings, blouse with lace collar, skirt and fur stole, printed in burgundy ink. Behind her are diagonal rows of butterflies with little labels, printed in various combinations of orange, black, yellow and brown white white.

#WomeninSTEM I mentored two high school girls last year in a research internship. Yesterday I was at the symposium for the end of this year's program, and when I saw them they came running up to hug me and let me know one is going to major in neuroscience this fall, and the other in biomedical engineering! Yay!!!

So excited for them!! 😁🥳 #science #neuroscience

I had the final mentoring session of my #WomenInSTEM program today. I talked about Women in Science with my mentee, and it was a bit depressing that apparently in 15 years since I left school, nothing has changed. Only 6 out of 26 people in the advanced physics class are girls. All those girls are the super clever and confident ones. The others didn't think they could do it, while the boys just shrug and elect physics without further thought.
Tell your daughters/students they can do things!!!

Happy birthday to Danish #seismologist Inge Lehmann (1888 – 1993) who demonstrated that the Earth’s core is not a single molten sphere, but contained an inner solid core, in ‘36. She was a pioneer #womanInScience, a brilliant seismologist & lived to be 105.⁠
⁠
As she first postulated, the #earth has roughly 3 equal concentric sections: mantle, liquid outer core & solid inner core. The crust, on which we live is merely 🧵1/n

Square linocut print on white paper of seismologist Inge Lehmann in a fur coat, silk scarf and dapper hat, in dark grey-teal ink overprinted with her diagram of the cross-section of the Earth in orange and red from her P’ paper, showing the mantle, outer core and inner core, an earthquake epicentre marker E and labelled ray paths through the Earth.

Happy birthday to x-ray crystallographer Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin (née Crowfoot, 1910-1994), Nobel laureate in #chemistry for her models of biomolecules like penicillin, vitamin B12 & insulin.

She was “captured for life by chemistry and crystals," in childhood, 1 of 2 girls allowed to study chemistry rather than domestic science at her school with a small lab in her attic. On her 16th birthday her mother gave her W.H. Bragg's 🧵1/n

My Lino block portrait progress is mostly carved and shows a young Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin in cobalt blue from chest up in a blouse tied with a bow. Her ball-and-stick molecular model for penicillin appears over her shoulder (with atoms in red, pink, pale blue, dark blue and black) and her blouse has a specific repeating pattern of circles and nested broken circles like a labyrinth on bronze circles within a hexagonal while area on a pink background. Overlapping her hair is her model of vitamin B12 complete with electron density contour lines and 3 Angstrom scale bar from one of her papers.

"I used to say the evening that I developed the first x-ray photograph I took of insulin in 1935 was the most exciting moment of my life. But the Saturday afternoon in late July 1969, when we realized that the insulin electron density map was interpretable, runs that moment very close."
'X Rays and the Structure of Insulin', British Medical Journal, 1971

Happy Birthday Dorothy Hodgkin!

Dorothy Mary Hodgkin (12 May 1910 – 29 July 1994) The photograph of Dorothy Mary Hodgkin by the Nobel Prize Foundation shows the renowned British chemist with a composed and thoughtful expression, seated in a modest setting that reflects her academic background. Hodgkin, awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, is typically seen in professional attire, with her signature calm demeanor, emphasizing her role as a pioneering scientist in the field of X-ray crystallography.

Happy birthday to founder of modern nursing, social reformer, statistician, data visualization innovator and writer Florence Nightingale (1820 – 1910)!⁠
Nightingale earned the nickname “The Lady with the Lamp” during the Crimean War, from a phrase used by The Times, describing her as a “ministering angel” making her solitary rounds of the hospital at night with “a little lamp in her hand”. 🧵

Happy birthday to #mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017)! The Fields Medal, one of the most prestigious #math awards, is awarded to mathematicians < 40. In 2014, she became 1st woman to win. Her research included Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, ergodic theory, & symplectic geometry, and Fields committee cited her work in “the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces”.⁠

The picture shows the Her Maths Story logo on top, below is a comic style drawing of a woman. She’s wearing a white shirt, blue jacket and red trousers, holding up cards against the light. In the background you can see mathematical formulas, and other science related figures like a DNA double helix. Below the picture it says happy women in maths day.
