Happy birthday to Zofia Keilan-Jaworowska (1925-2015) a Polish #paleobiologist famous for a series of Polish-Mongolian expeditions she lead from 1963-1971 to the Gobi desert! There she discovered dinosaurs including the Deinocheirus, plus she & team found the “Fighting Dinosaurs” fossil specimen in 1971 preserving a Protoceratops & Velociraptor trapped in combat about 74 million years ago. Her research covered a wide range of palaeontology 🧵

My linocut portrait of Zofia Keilan-Jaworowska shows her as in slacks and sleeveless button down with collar turned in a 3/4 view with her right arm extended and left arm bent and resting on the small of her back. She has short hair and appears brightly lit from the left side. In front of her are the Fighting Dinosaurs fossils: a protoceratops and velociraptor entwined. Above her hand is a Cretaceous rodent Catopsbaatar and behind her is a Deinocheirus dinosaur. She is in the field in Mongolia with mountains in the distance. The print is made in a gradient of sandy golden green through dark green-brown through a dark rust from the bottom to the top.

Fieldwork is over, and my period has arrived. Field periods are a fact of life, but there's no doubt it can affect my work. To be able to get the hot and sweaty stuff done before its arrival feels like an Easter miracle.

Memorable past fieldwork periods include throwing up in a car park (happily, not in the cave!) and subsequently being gently fed home-made biscuits by my female colleagues until i felt better 😅

Happy birthday to #biochemist Marie Maynard Daly (1921-2003), 1st Black woman to earn a PhD in #chemistry in the US! She made important research contributions to our understanding of the biochemisty of the cell nucleus & cardiovascular issues & the chemistry of histones & protein synthesis. She established that “no bases other than adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine were present in appreciable amounts” in DNA - 🧵

My linocut portrait of Marie Maynard Daly in purples (she’s a young smiling Black woman, wearing earrings, a necklace and a dress, looking at the viewer over her shoulder). Above her to the right is an anatomical heart with a blowout diagram in a circle of a clogged artery and the cholesterol molecule all in red. Next to her on the left in blue are the molecules of the bases which make up DNA and a diagram of a human cell.

I really enjoyed @Felienne's narrative about narratives about Computer Science yesterday. She applied some of the ideas presented in the Glaciers, Gender and Science paper (journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/1) to her experiences in the Computer Science / Programming Languages communities. She's also starting a reading club to brainstorm the meaning (and the name?) of the field of "Computer Science".

Felienne presents a slide in which a cartoon version of herself says "'Programming language' is a social construct", and presents a timeline where the 1960s are labelled with two quotes: "Programming requires patience and eye for detail ..." and "Women are naturals at computer programming".
Felienne presents her title slide: A narrative about narratives about Computer Science. She drew cute cartoons of her and her collaborator.
Felienne presents a slide with a cartoon picture of herself, with a thought bubble that visualises the bias that "hard = value" and "easy != value" through the metaphor of the fact that we know more about remote glaciers high up in mountains than about glaciers that are right next to where people live.

This is Sechi Katō (1893-1989) in 1918. It's her graduation photo from a women's college in Tokyo.

Eventually she would become the first woman principal investigator at RIKEN, Japan's national chemistry & physics institute. She faced incredibly daunting hurdles before then...

Formal photographic portrait of Sechi Katō in 1918. She is wearing traditional Japanese clothing, with her hair up in a large sokugami bun.

Some numbers. $2,500 is left on our fundraiser. We're halfway. I'd freaking love to hit that.

But if we can't, bare-bones I need $300 for a generator rental (we are off-grid and fully self-powered. More funds and I'll do bigger solar this gear), $100 for educational decor, and I pulled $700 from my (meager) savings for poorer campers already.

$1,100 would do a LOT.

Two people dressed in femme outfits leaning in opposite directions each helping two younger kids with a soldering project on folding tables outdoors in a pop-up tent. Behind them hang colorful posters talking about electronics.
A woman in an aesthetic outfit is standing in front of a large group of colorfully dressed people showing off something on an iPad. Behind her are various glowing LED projects.
A glowing blue tent with a rainbow sign at the top that says "There U Glow" at the top has green overlayed text. The text reads "An all femme and queer founded, designed and run electronics camp in Portland, Oregon We are aggressively grassroots and rudely dedicated to femme folks who are freshly interested and/or fiercely expert in technical skill. We kick ass and open our source in equal measure. Keep track, we won’t stop." At the bottom is "www.thereuglow.club"

Happy birthday to Canadian 🇨🇦 geneticist Irene Ayako Uchida (1917-2013)! In my #linocut Uchida is shown surrounded by chromosones, with anomalies (shown with pink arrows) due to radiation exposure, based on one of her research papers. A strand of DNA is hidden in the image (as her watchband).⁠
⁠
Uchida didn’t set out to be a scientist. She was studying English literature at UBC, before she was interned 🧵1/n

Linocut portrait of geneticist Irene Ayako Uchida (handsome, middle age woman of Japanese heritage with curly hair with a white streak on her right temple, with an open, thoughtful face) leaning on folded arms in a white button down shirt with a small watch with double-helix watchband on her wrist, in dark teal-grey ink. She is surrounded by chromosomes in gold, from one of her papers. The anomalous ones are pointed out with small pink arrows.

Caroline #Herschel was an absolutely fascinating woman: stunted by a childhood encounter with typhus, she was actively stopped from learning more by her mother. Yet, she prevailed, becoming the first woman to get a salary as a scientist and the first woman to be employed by the government in England:

🐵 Happy Birthday, Dr. Jane Goodall! Born on this day in 1934, Jane Goodall is an anthropologist, primatologist, and conservationist. She is considered the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees. Her work revolutionized our understanding of what it means to be human and proved that women could be successful as scientists in a world previously dominated by men. 1/2

Happy birthday to French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Marie-Sophie Germain (1776 – 1831), known as Sophie. She taught herself mathematics using books in her father’s library and by corresponding with leading mathematicians of her day, including Lagrange, Legendre and Gauss, initially using the pseudonym Monsieur LeBlanc. 🧵1/n

Linocut of Sophie Germain (a young woman in with a collar with bow, under a dark dress, with a ribbon tied around her neck, long hair with centre part, half tied up with a ribbon in her hair). She is printed in dark blue with her own words about Fermat's Last Theorem in her own script carved into her hair and dress). Behind her in lavender is a grid of Chladni figures.
