On International #WomenInScience Day, and every day, we always look to the wisdom of @CarnegiePlanets' National Medal of Science-winning astronomer Vera Rubin, whose research confirmed the existence of dark matter and who was a lifelong champion for women in science.

[Carnegie Science @carnegiescience]

This International #WomenInScience Day we are remembering some of our game-changing Carnegie scientists, like
@CarnegieDevBio's Nobel winning Barbara McClintock, whose work on "jumping genes" was initially dismissed, but eventually revolutionized her field.

[Carnegie Science @carnegiescience]

National Medal of Science laureate Maxine Singer, our president emerita, is a brilliant biologist and a tireless advocate for access to STEM education for all. We are so grateful to be part of her legacy of leadership this International #WomenInScience Day.

[Carnegie Science @carnegiescience]

This #WomeninScience Day we're looking back across our 100-plus-year history to celebrate a selection of women scientists from our past who disrupted norms, set precedents, and contributed to science and culture. LEARN MORE: https://t.co/4JcON2Na24
