Day 3 of #artAdventCalendar: another new portrait - geochemist Katsuko Saruhashi (1920-2007) who created tools that allowed her to make 1st measurements of CO2 in seawater, raised the alarm about nuclear fallout, tracing it in oceans & researched peaceful uses of nuclear power. A supporter of women in science, she established the Society of Japanese Women Scientists & the Saruhashi Prize for 🧵

Printed in a gradient of dark blue-green at the bottom through dark blue to light blue at the top, this is my 9.25” x 12.5” portrait of Japanese geochemist in the lab adjusting a round bottomed flask with other posts and an array of chemical glassware in the foreground. In the background are carved ocean waves so the top looks like sky over wavy ocean

Araceli Sánchez Urquijo (1920-2010) 1st woman to work as civil #engineer in #Spain As a child during Spanish Civil War she was a Niños de Rusia, evacuated to #Russia for safety. Trained in cutting edge engineering in Moscow, returned to Spain after 20 yrs #WomenInSTEM en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araceli_

Day 2 #artAdventCalendar I made several portraits this year including Sophie Brahe (1559 or 1556 -1643) horticulturalist, astronomer, genealogist, & alchemist with the gardens at her brother #astronomer Tycho Brahe’s Uraniborg estate, where she often assisted his research, alchemical tools & illustrations of the supernova she observed as his assistant.

Tycho trained her in horticulture & chemistry but initially discouraged astronomy.🧵

My 11” x 14” linocut portrait of Sophie Brahe, a Renaissance aristocrat in headgear, ruff, dark clothing with medallion on a wide band and a long scarf or other thin fabric draped over her shoulders with her hands folded in front of her and alchemical vessels, printed in dark bronze ink, on a bronze background. In green behind her head is a map of the gardens at Uranienborg, with her head at the centre of the diamond shaped pale green knot garden (geometric planned gardens). This is surrounded by an orchard in darker green with semicircle bump outs on each side of the diamond. The stars of Cassiopeia from De stelle nova are printed in gold on top of everything; there are stars across her chest and ruff and in the garden and the large supernova is above her head

Esther Lederberg (December 18, 1922 – November 11, 2006) pioneered bacterial genetics, discovering lambda phage and F factor, inventing replica plating and furthered the understanding of the transfer of genes between bacteria by specialized transduction. She founded Stanford's Plasmid Reference Center. Despite groundbreaking work, she never got tenure and her discoveries are often credited to her Nobel laureate husband.

#TalDíaComoHoy en 1938 nace Margarita Salas, la científica española más reconocida del s. XX. Inició el desarrollo de la biología molecular en España. “De joven era discriminada por ser mujer; hoy por ser mayor. Lo importante es no tener arrugas en el cerebro” #womeninstem 🖌 @imaestroart.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy

#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.

#TalDíaComoHoy nos dejaba Ada Lovelace. Se la considera la primera persona programadora porque creó el primer algoritmo para ser procesado en la máquina de Charles Babbage. Firmaba sus notas con sus iniciales por miedo a ser censurada por ser mujer. Tiene un lenguaje de programación. #WomenInSTEM
