Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Hannah Doyle!!! Her defense was awesome and yes, that is a championship belt that the lab made for her (she’s also a kick a** boxer)

Continued thread
simple substances should have simple names & compounds should have compound names designating their parts. A 19th century painting of them notably includes both Picardet & Mme Lavoisier who deserve to be remembered.

Happy birthday to Claudine Picardet (1735-1820) #chemist, #mineralogist, meteorologist & perhaps most importantly, translator of latest science from Swedish, English, German, Italian & possibly Latin to French at the height of the chemical revolution.
She married barrister & member of the Académie royale des sciences, arts, et belles-lettres de Dijon, Claude Picardet in 1755, her entry into the high society scientific

Honoured to be part of a video series by Instituto Todos Pela Saúde about Bioinformatics! It's been wonderful to see more & more women come into Bioinf, as such an important & wide-ranging field - full of awesome & impactful projects!

www.linkedin.comAssim como outros campos da ciência, a bioinformática enfrenta um obstáculo significativo: o fato de as mulheres serem minoria. | Instituto Todos pela Saúde (ITpS)Assim como outros campos da ciência, a bioinformática enfrenta um obstáculo significativo: o fato de as mulheres serem minoria. Este é um problema multifacetado, com raízes em fatores sociais e culturais.
A falta de modelos femininos na área, os desafios na conciliação entre vida pessoal e profissional, vieses de gênero em sistemas de avaliação e até os estereótipos transmitidos desde a infância — como a crença errônea de que mulheres não se dão bem com números — influenciam esse cenário.
O grande problema é que essa sub-representação não apenas limita o potencial das mulheres, como prejudica a qualidade e a diversidade da produção científica. Não por acaso, a Unesco e a ONU Mulheres estabeleceram em 2015 o Dia Internacional de Mulheres e Meninas na Ciência, comemorado em 11 de fevereiro.
Aqui no Brasil, o Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação e o Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), principal órgão de financiamento de pesquisas no país, criaram o Prêmio Mulheres na Ciência, que visa valorizar e reconhecer a contribuição feminina para o avanço do setor.
É uma questão crucial para o desenvolvimento de uma área tão relevante para a saúde pública. Por isso, cruzamos o oceano para ouvir o depoimento de Emma Hodcroft, uma das grandes referências em bioinformática no mundo. Arraste para o lado para saber mais.

#OnThisDay, 5 Aug 1888, Bertha Benz drove from Mannheim to Pforzheim: the first journey of 100+km in a car by *anyone*.
She'd got tired of her husband tinkering with his prototype so took it on the road with her sons. And without him.
Along the way, she made running repairs to the engine and realised there would need to be refueling stations.

Happy birthday to trailblazing American computer scientist Frances Elizabeth Allen (1932 – 2020) who made foundational contributions to optimizing compilers, optimizing programs and parallel computing. She was the first woman to become an IBM Fellow, where she worked from 1957 to 2002 and as an emeritus fellow afterwards. She was the first woman to win the Turing Prize.
IBM Research was recruiting teachers 1/n
#TalDíaComoHoy en 1932 nacía y el mismo día, pero de 2020, nos dejaba Frances Elizabeth Allen. Fue la primera mujer que recibió el premio Turing en 2006 (se otorga desde 1966), equivalente al Nobel de Informática. Pionera en la automatización de tareas paralelas. #WomenInSTEM
Marjorie-Taylor Greene discovers that neo-nazis don't have much respect for women. Gee. Who woulda known that?
She advocates for #womeninfash like intelligent, highly-capable women advocate for #womeninstem .
(In truth, today's Republican Party has the clear monopoly on the feminazis, who have, up until now, been mistaken for women who just want to be left alone to create things of value for themselves.)
