A World of Women in STEM

Learn and get inspired by women+ scientists from across history and the world!

Hi #sciencetwitter, we’re A World of Women in STEM (WOW STEM for short)!

We make content about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and the women+ who have been part of these fields throughout history. (1/6) #scicomm #womeninSTEM

We loved getting to meet you and chat about your time in space! Can't wait to share this project soon. 💫

#AstraFemina is collaborating with @wowstem -- World of #WomeninSTEM -- to do a series of videos of #STEM folks in many fields. I loved being together with these great ladies filming. And I love the name of this conference room!

How can we study the #brains of ancient animals? By making endocasts of their skulls!

Dr. Tilly Edinger founded the field of #paleoneurology, and unlocked countless secrets of long-gone animals.

Dr. Te Kanawa uses her expertise in both chemistry and traditional Māori dyeing practices to preserve precious textiles and important cultural knowledge.

Don't miss our latest post, a collaboration with @GalacticPM's newest lesson: Colourful Solutions!

Dyes from plants and natural materials have helped us express ourselves through color for millennia. Now Dr. Rangi Te Kanawa studies the chemical trails these dyes leave in textiles.

WOW, we’re turning 1!!

It’s been a great year and we can’t wait for everything that’s coming next. If you’re loving what we do, you can send us a #birthday present: https://t.co/zYZ4cdE5dn 🥳

I love this new portrait of Dr. Rachel Lloyd painted by Sachi Weerasooriya @sachiwee for @wowstem. Thank you Sachi!
It's part of the new blog about Lloyd's role in developing the US sugar industry. Check out the DIY experiments at the end of the blog.

Awesome video by Caroline Martin @wowSTEM. It's about Dr. Rachel Lloyd & her scientific impact.
Lloyd was the 1st American woman to earn a PhD in #chemistry and became a chemprof at #UNLincoln in 1887.

New post alert!✨

Did you know #fireworks are a really old technology and have been dazzling crowds for thousands of years?? Read now about alchemy, early #chemistry, and how humans figured out ways to put all those beautiful colors in the sky! 🎆

@HUDeanMed Hi, we just wrote a blogpost about HU Med alumna Dr. Patricia Bath! We think she's a huge inspiration and thought you might be interested in reading the blogpost. :)

Dr. Bath was the first Black woman to patent a medical device! Her drive and ambition can be seen in her leadership in community-focused ophthalmology and her incredible inventions.

Shining a #laser in your eye to cure blindness might sound like sci-fi, but it isn't, thanks to #ophthalmologist and @HowardUniv alum Dr. Patricia Bath!

She invented a way to treat cataracts using lasers, restoring sight to countless people.

The untold story of the woman who discovered the greenhouse effect.

#womeninSTEM #scicomm #climatescience #chemistry

https://t.co/opPLR4nCT7

[A World of Women in STEM @wowstem]

You may have heard of the greenhouse effect, but what about the woman #ClimateScientist who discovered it? Her name was Eunice Foote.

As a woman in the 1850s, she couldn't pursue a job in science, so she learned and conducted experiments from her home.

On this day in 1951 Astronaut Dr. Sally Ride was born. She studied hard and trained tirelessly and became the first American woman in space! Her legacy inspires us to aim for the stars. ✨

Happy birthday, Sally. 🥳

Tirelessly training to brave a new frontier. 💫

Did you know there are trillions of microbes inside you RIGHT NOW?? #stem #scicomm #womeninstem #biology #microbiology #bacteria #neuroscience

[A World of Women in STEM @wowstem]

Our microbes help us digest food, fight off infection, and even stay in a good mood. We’re just now starting to understand how this complex zoo affects our brains, thanks in part to Dr. Hsiao!

There are *trillions* of microbes in our guts, and Dr. Elaine Hsiao (@pipethero) wants to eavesdrop on the chatter between our gut microbes and our nervous systems.
