The year is 1969. Men are about to walk on the Moon and Australia has a critical role. The first television pictures, watched by 600 million people across the globe, are transmitted through the Honeysuckle Creek tracking station near Canberra. #WomenInSTEM #IWD25 🧪

I hope you'll agree with me that this is a history worth telling. (And oh, the stuff I left out!). I have many complex thoughts about it.
But don't leave the thread just yet! There is a final thing I want to do.

A key figure in the protests was MP Doris Blackburn (1889 – 1970). When she visited Woomera, she became aware of the impact on Aboriginal people. She worked closely with Aboriginal activists such as Margaret Tucker and Doug Nicholls.

There was more serious work afoot, though. Woomera wasn't really about space. It was about developing weapons, missiles and ICBMs which could deliver nuclear warheads. The Australian public wasn't having it, so soon after WWII and the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 🧪 #WomenInSTEM #IWD25

As plans for the construction of the Woomera launch site were developing in 1946, Ella Grainger was thinking about the Moon. Ella was a Swedish singer, composer and painter who married one of Australia's great composers, Percy Grainger, in 1928. 🧪 #WomenInSTEM #IWD25

Spent quite a lot of time reading aloud yesterday + today (kids favourite "treatment" when they're sick), now I can hardly speak.
Suspect it's not just overuse though, maybe a sick day or three on the cards this week.. 😕

Ruth_Mottram - A very happy women's day to all who celebrate. After cooking, cleaning, caring for sick kid + cheering the other one at Saturday activities, it's time to appreciate the opportunities earlier generations of our sisters fought to allow us to enjoy...
The record high air temperatures this week, combined with cold sea water in the Baltic meant an atmospheric mist.
A wonderful evening on the misty Øresund. #KvindernesKampDag #IWD25

The front of a red kayak sits at rest on very calm water at sunset. The light is reflected in the still water, there are some tallish buildings on the horizon, and a line of round buoys bob in the foreground, the sky is yellowing in the setting sun with wispy clouds

👨‍👧🥰👩‍💻 I can't think of a better way to celebrate the Happy #International #Women 's Day than spending half an hour answering questions about the #binary system from my 13-year-old #daughter.

I need to thank WeSTEM+ and their #robotics course for this interest in the fundamentals of computers 👏👏

But I also had to ack to her that I didn't remember how to multiply binary numbers (except the easy case of multiplying by 2x) 😥😥
