Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. It’s important to remember that actively working towards a welcoming safe environment for everyone in science isn’t just the decent thing to do (I’d argue it’s the bare minimum), it also means we do better science! Take, for example, this study showing underrepresented groups innovate more than their peers (but their work is not taken up by the wider community): https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1915378117 #AcademicChatter #WomenInSTEM

Day 11 #ArtAdventCalendar: Happy birthday to trailblazing US #astronomer Annie Jump Cannon (1863 – 1941), here with her stellar classification system which sorted stars based on spectral types, revealing their temperature from hot blue to cool red stars: O,B,A, F, G, K & M. Named the Harvard Classification after the university, her tremendous contribution was less visible. 🧵 #printmaking #womenInSTEM #histsci #DisabledInSTEM #linocut #mastoArt

#OnThisDay, 28 Nov 1967, Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers the existence of pulsars. Not included in the 1974 Nobel prize for the discovery, Bell received a £3m prize for her work in 2018. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM. #WomenInHistory #OTD #History #WomensHistory #WomenInSTEM #Histodons
