@doc_magni @DilanSeckiner1 @BeeBabette @DrCharOskam @synapse101 @VSenigaglia Lets keep supporting each other to show society that we indeed are strong role models! Together we can change #Statistics

Why So Few Women in STEM?
Some of the reasons why there hasn't been an increase of women in STEM are the lack of role models, stereotype threat and implicit bias. We can be able to change statistics by spreading the word about women's achievements

in math and science, understanding the role of implicit bias, mentorship, providing early STEM learning to girls, among others.
It is important to recognize the problem and take action.

When a black hole swallows a star:
When a star wanders too close to a supermassive black hole, it gets absorbed by it and a huge jet of plasma is ejected. The bright source of light is visible on several wavelengths.

More minorities switch to another major when enrolled in a STEM program. Some of the reasons are may be lack of emotional and financial support, lacking academic resources, discrimination and bias in STEM.

Of course younger people are more concerned than older people about Climate Change. In decades to come, they’re the ones who must live in the World that the rest of us have borrowed from them.

A teaspoonful of neutrons star would weigh 6 billion tons!
Neutron stars are created when giant stars die in supernovas and their core collapse.

Carlos Finlay was a #Cuban scientist, pioneer in the study of yellow fever. When he first presented his research suggesting that mosquitoes transmitted the disease, he was called the “universal ridicule.” Nominated 7 times for a Nobel Prize, but was never awarded the honor.

First image of a black hole!
This supermassive black hole ia at the center of M87, an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo.

Marie Curie was the first to win a Nobel Prize, in Physics and Chemistry.
She with her husband Pierre and Henri Becquerel, won the Physics Price in 1903 for their discovery of radioactivity.
