☢ #Caesium-137, a product of #uranium-235 fission, is one of the world's most widely used #radionuclides and is the inspiration for my nick.
Did you know that Margaret Melhase Fuchs, a #chemistry undergraduate at UC #Berkeley, discovered Cs-137 in 1941, but was prevented from pursuing a PhD?
More information about this interesting woman who has been repressed from history:

Happy birthday to Danish #seismologist Inge Lehmann (1888 – 1993) who demonstrated that the Earth’s core is not a single molten sphere, but contained an inner solid core, in ‘36. She was a pioneer #womanInScience, a brilliant seismologist & lived to be 105.
As she first postulated, the #earth has roughly 3 equal concentric sections: mantle, liquid outer core & solid inner core. The crust, on which we live is merely 🧵1/n

"As a woman, you're often alone but also highly visible", says Audrey Vorburger, assistant professor at the Physics Institute and mother of three. In the video, the #space scientist talks about the search for #life beyond #Earth and her experiences in a male-dominated field. https://www.uniaktuell.unibe.ch/2025/as_a_woman_you_re_often_alone_but_also_highly_visible/index_eng.html

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMAN AND GIRLS IN SCIENCE DAY! 🧬🔬🥼🧫🧪 I am very disappointed my daughter’s university did not choose to recognize this on their social media, or within the student body today. #WomanInScience https://www.womeninscienceday.org/
On this #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience, here is a great story presented in two papers led by a #WomanInScience (Jingjing Guo) and last authored by another #WomanInScience (Francien Peterse).

Знайшов, що вказівники винайшли українські вчені, зокрема Катерина Ющенко у 1955.
Ось стаття про неї: https://uacomputing.com/persons/yushenko/

З каналу, який веде її син.
Happy to share the article from my appreciated student.

She learned #rspatial while writing her bachelor thesis. And this is the result.
She is not in the #fediverse, but congratulations for the excellent work in this paper. Well done Naomi Toledo Rojas!

Jana De Ridder is one of 3 PhD students in the joint project of Funmorph and the Evolutionary Morphology group of the UGent. This project looks at the mechanical basis of evolutionary divergence in Darwin's finches. 🐦
Jana is looking at differences in function and morphology of jaw muscles of different species. In the Funmorph lab, she is recording the beak movement during feeding and singing.

“A person so shut out from every possibility of happiness would have to be a veritable angel if he did not feel hatred toward a world he cannot belong to.”
– Karen Horney, The Neurotic Personality of Our Time (1937)
👩🔬 Happy birthday to #MarieCurie, born on this day in 1867 in Warsaw.
Today we celebrate a physicist & chemist who changed the course of history. The first woman to win a @NobelPrize. But more importantly, a pioneer #WomanInScience and an inspiring #ProphetOfDigital.
