I narrated and produced this episode w @ashraya and I'm so excited to share it.

The first female doc in the Dominican Republic was an American woman. Right after the Civil War, she was one of the first Black female MDs in the US, before Jim Crow drove her to practice elsewhere.

See this striking tintype portrait. @NMAAHC, which houses this photo, thinks this is probably Sarah Loguen Fraser, one of the first Black women to earn a medical license in the US. Hear her story in our latest episode.

Proud to have worked on this episode of @LostWomenofSci -- Dr. Sarah Loguen Fraser, the child of abolitionists, went to medical school during the promise of Reconstruction, and became the first woman licensed to practice medicine in the Dominican Republic.

Yvonne Y. Clark has been nicknamed “The First Lady of Engineering.” LWoS Season 3 is about her groundbreaking work, and what it means to be the first in a scientific field, especially as a Black woman in America. @sciam @prx #womeninengineering

Klári's mental health changed the course of her life. How should we talk about that?

In this piece for @Slate @StateMindSlate, senior editor @NoraMathison explores what the new language around mental health means for those who didn't live to see it.

"Whatever language we now have to talk about interiority was not pulled out of thin air, but wrestled into existence by people in the past who needed it."

Important article from @Slate's @NoraMathison & @ASU on #mentalhealth of historical figures.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Here’s how Dems can + must do more than wait for an election.

Let’s start w/ why:

- 7 of the 9 justices were appointed by a party that hasn’t won a popular vote more than once in 30 years

- 1 of those seats was stolen

- Several lied to Congress to secure their appointment…

@LostWomenofSci's overarching goal is to illuminate the lives and works of female scientists who have been forgotten even as their contributions shape modern life.

Nora Mathison covers the initiative in this enlightening article for @Tech_Networks.

Meet our Season Two subject: Klára Dán von Neumann, or Klari to her friends. In the words of @ananyo, she is “the most overlooked person in the history of computing.”

So women docs make 25% less than men over the course of a career, but they are better at their jobs? Am I hearing that right?

This month’s newsletter, written by senior editor @NoraMathison, looks at the specifics of this contradiction:https://t.co/1eCDSKVb0k
