We're celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Let's look back on the life of Marie Skłodowska Curie: a Nobel Prize laureate who dedicated her life to science and became one of the world's greatest scientists.
#WomenInScience #NobelPrize
Here I am again past 3am in the morning and wide awake because it’s overtime @SuperBowl #SBLVIII
Happy Intl Day of Women & Girls in Science! Thank you for inspiring me

Science is at its best when we ALL have a voice!
Happy International Day of Women & Girls in Science 🎉
All areas of science are enhanced and enriched by both the work and presence of women and girls in the discipline.

Yall look at how much HeLa cells cost. $546 PER VIAL. That family is owed BIG TIME. Good for them.

Raise your hand if you’re a scientist that’s ever been forced to use Henrietta Lacks’ (HeLa) cells in the lab 🙋🏾♀️ I cried. I said are there ANY other cells we can use? They said NO. Not for the protocol we were using. SO MANY scientific discoveries were made using her cells.
Dragon!
Wishing all those celebrating the lunar new year a health, happy and prosperous year.
Are you a Dragon? In the Chinese zodiac, dragons are notorious for strong leadership qualities and determination to succeed, which will inspire us to chase our dreams. Let’s release our dragons!. #YearOfTheDragon Happy Chinese New Year 2024
Thank you @SchmidtOcean and @Ri_Science for the privilege of seeing the world premier of #OceanWatch. The research featured and the images captured were absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing the wonder of discovery.
@Ri_Science for the world premier of #OceanWatch with my two favourite scientists.

Never laugh at someone. You don't know what they are going through.
It was an honour to meet our inspiring @LM_Westminster earlier this week as she celebrated the academic, artistic and athletic achievements of school children. She had an encouraging word for every single awardee, and she reminded us all to love much and to live gently.

Today we remember one of the world's greatest scientists: Marie Skłodowska Curie, who died #OTD in 1934.
Curie was the first person to be awarded the #NobelPrize twice and is still the only person to receive the prize in two different scientific fields.

Marie Curie died of aplastic anaemia on 4 July 1934, a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work. Even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902, is radioactive and will be for 1,500 years.
ALT Two pages from Madame Curie's notebook. She has made scientific notes with pictures and handwritten text.
