Bacteriological chemist & refrigeration engineer Dr. Mary Engle Pennington, the "Ice Woman," revolutionized food safety by inventing the "cold chain." Her groundbreaking work on continuous refrigeration kept perishable food fresh from harvest to consumer. She was born #OTD in 1872. 🧵 #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white photograph of Dr. Mary Engle Pennington (1872–1952), the pioneering American bacteriological chemist and refrigeration engineer known as the "Ice Woman." Shown from the chest up, she poses at a three-quarter angle, facing left while turning her gaze calmly toward the camera. Her expression is serene, intellectual, and confident, marked by a slight, knowing smile. Her wavy, light-colored hair is parted down the middle and neatly pinned back, framing her face and her thin, round wire-rimmed spectacles. She is elegantly dressed in a textured, small-checked pattern blazer over a collared blouse with a delicate, ornate pendant hanging from her neckline. Pinched to her left lapel is a prominent corsage featuring two light-colored, lifelike fabric flower blossoms complete with subtle leaves. The overall composition uses classic soft studio lighting that creates a gentle gradient across her face against a dark, featureless backdrop, capturing a dignified and scholarly mood that honors her monumental contributions to global food safety.

Astronaut, neurologist, and photographer Dr. Roberta Bondar was #Canada's first female astronaut (1992). #WorldSpaceWeek 🚀 The world's first neurologist in space, she is globally recognized for her contributions to space medicine. #WomenInSTEM robertabondar.com
A formal portrait of Dr. Roberta Lynn Bondar from her 1992 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery mission (STS-42). Dr. Bondar, a board-certified neurologist and payload specialist, is centered in the frame from the waist up, smiling warmly with an approachable, confident expression. Her short, dark brown hair is styled in a soft crop. She wears a vibrant orange NASA Launch and Entry spacesuit featuring a black neck ring, a prominent circular mission patch on her right chest, and a rectangular name tag with a gold astronaut symbol on her left chest. Her hands rest gently on a dark surface in the foreground next to her matching white flight helmet, which features a large, glossy black visor. Framed closely behind her are two flags: the American Stars and Stripes on the left and the Canadian Maple Leaf on the right, symbolizing the international scientific partnership. The composition is balanced and official, radiating a proud, triumphant, and historic mood that commemorates breaking barriers for women in STEM.A candid shot of Dr. Roberta Bondar in her post-spaceflight career as an accomplished fine-art nature photographer and global environmental researcher. Viewed in profile from the waist up, Dr. Bondar is positioned on the right side of the frame inside the covered canopy of an outdoor field vehicle. She looks intently through the viewfinder of a high-end, professional Hasselblad medium-format camera mounted to a sturdy, articulated tripod arm. She wears a comfortable, light gray hooded zip-up sweatshirt with a dark patterned scarf around her neck and reading glasses hanging loosely over her chest. Her expression is focused, thoughtful, and serene. The background opens to a vast, flat shoreline and a calm body of water under a pale blue sky, showcasing the remote natural environments she documents. The natural, soft daytime lighting emphasizes an analytical yet deeply passionate mood, visually connecting her scientific background in observation to her enduring artistic dedication to Earth's ecosystems.

#OTD in 2020, Emmanuelle Charpentier & Jennifer Doudna won the #Nobel Prize in #Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing" (referring to their groundbreaking work on the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors). They were the first all-female team to win a Nobel in science. #WomenInSTEM
A side-by-side composite photo of French microbiologist Emmanuelle Charpentier (born December 11, 1968) on the left and American biochemist Jennifer Doudna (born February 19, 1964) on the right. The pair made history by developing the CRISPR-Cas9 "genetic scissors" technology in 2012, which earned them the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. On the left, Dr. Charpentier stands indoors with her hands casually resting in her jeans pockets, looking directly at the camera with a calm, subtle smile. She wears a dark blue tailored blazer over a dark buttoned shirt. Behind her is a large chalkboard filled with scientific diagrams and hand-written biological terms like "ADN Virus," "RNA," "Cas9," and "Bact." On the right, Dr. Doudna stands outdoors with her arms crossed, smiling warmly. She is wearing a brown structured blazer over a dark V-neck top, paired with dark jeans and a black belt. She is positioned before a large, minimalist silver metal sculpture made of intersecting arches, with a soft-focus background of green trees. The composition blends the rigorous, analytical workspace of the laboratory with an open, organic outdoor environment, evoking a professional, accomplished, and confident mood that emphasizes their revolutionary impact on biotechnology.

Our dear dear friend Haley at @friendsofbear.bsky.social has a very sick, sweet geriatric kitty who is in the hospital dealing with some stuff. She posted on her IG that all she’d like for her birthday today is some donations for his care: linktr.ee/friendsofbear
An orange tabby cat who is a bit old and scrungly sleeping inside a cubby bed.An old orange tabby cat who is a bit disheveled and scrungly, looking quite under the weather with an IV catheter in one leg and a kind hand scritching his cheek gently.friendsofbearcatrescue one of my favorite little FoB sanctuary buddies Mr. Peaches is currently in the hospital
no pressure but it's my birthday today
and I would love nothing more than if you could donate toward his hospital bill so we can give him the best chance
our donation links are in our bio!
Peaches came to us at the end of May after 13 hard years on the street. His time outside definitely showed, he was in horrendous shape and weighed 5
Ibs of mostly fleas. Since then, we have been managing his various conditions. He's dealt with anemia, congestion, gastric ulcers, kidney disease, horrible dental disease... the list goes on. We've been slowly chipping away at these issues and he was actually starting to feel pretty good! A couple weeks ago, he started backsliding and I've been trying to figure him out. This weekend, it became clear he was declining and what I was doing at home wasn't enough, so I had to admit him to the hospital.
Peaches is dealing with an infection, dehydration, another gastric ulcer, pretty awful congestion and a mild hit to his kidneys. Thankfully, after 24 hrs of fluids, he's showing improvement. Through all of this, he continues to have the loudest purr and best headbutts for everyone who helps him
I feel hopeful that we can get Peaches back on track and give him more time to feel loved and cherished, something he missed out on for his first 13 years of life. If you're able to pitch in $1 or $5 toward his care, we would all appreciate it more than you know.
Everyone who has met this little guy knows how special he is and how much he wants to stick around
thank you all as always for the ongoing support for these gross cats, they are my heart and soul and your donations and kind comments mean the world to me
