Sometimes I get sent a video or photo of a dog and we have to drop everything. This was such a case. Left behind by his "owners" and in a bad way medically. I'm hopeful we can turn his life around. I called him Frank as I hope he puts on weight one day and becomes Frank the Tank

"The commons" means shared resources no one owns, like oceans, forests, or water. Economists thought people would always ruin them out of greed. Elinor Ostrom proved that local communities can successfully cooperate to protect and manage these resources themselves. #economics

#OTD in 2009, economist Elinor Ostrom became the first woman to be awarded the #Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences "for her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons." 🧵 www.nobelprize.org/prizes/econo... #WomeninSTEM #economics
A delightful portrait of political economist Elinor Ostrom (1933–2012), the first woman to win the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, posing with a joyful expression. Leaning slightly against a muted grey wall on the right, Ostrom is positioned in the right foreground of the composition. She wears an open, vibrant purple patterned jacket with geometric and textured bands over a black turtleneck sweater, accented by a long gold pendant necklace and rings on her crossed hands. She looks directly at the camera with an open, bright smile and crinkled eyes behind her thin-framed glasses, her white hair neatly styled. The background features the soft-focused, bright white architecture of an elegant courtyard with classic arches, columns, and an upper balustrade under a blue ceiling structure, casting a bright, luminous atmosphere. The image captures a warm, triumphant, and dignified mood, celebrating her monumental historical impact on economic governance.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

British nurse Edith Cavell was a #WWI resistance leader. She ran escape lines from German-occupied Belgium saving ~200 Allied soldiers. Betrayed by a collaborator, she was arrested, tried, and shot by a German firing squad #OTD in 1915. Quote from the eve of her execution. #WomenInHistory #HistSky
Black-and-white graphic honoring Edith Cavell: a formal portrait of the British nurse, wearing a high-collared lace blouse and upswept hair. Beside her, in bold red quotation marks, her famous words: “Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness for anyone.” The quote is attributed beneath in white text: Edith Cavell. The background fades to black with a thin red border on the left.

🔭 Astronomer, astrophysicist & explorer Dr. Merieme Chadid: one of the world's first scientists to establish a major astronomical observatory in Antarctica. She set up the specialized automated telescopes & tested the optical turbulence of the atmosphere.🧵 She was born #OTD in 1969. #WomenInSTEM
A color photograph of Moroccan-French astronomer and astrophysicist Dr. Merieme Chadid (born 1969), celebrated as a pioneering explorer who established early automated telescopes in Antarctica. Caught in a candid and joyful moment, she is positioned slightly off-center, facing toward the right side of the frame with a radiant, wide smile that showcases her bright eyes. Her dark hair is pulled back neatly into a ponytail, emphasizing her facial expression. She wears a structured, textured charcoal-gray blazer over a white blouse featuring a vibrant, multicolored floral or abstract print along the neckline. Adorning her neck is a distinctive statement necklace consisting of a large, circular, engraved silver pendant suspended from a thin red cord. The background is a soft, out-of-focus interior wall with neutral, warm beige tones, creating a shallow depth of field that keeps the focus entirely on her. The overall mood is warm, intellectual, and proud, embodying the triumphant spirit of a groundbreaking scientist who shattered cultural and geographic barriers in the global astrophysics community.An historic, on-site photograph of Dr. Merieme Chadid conducting polar research during her groundbreaking 2005–2006 astronomical expedition at the Concordia Research Station in Antarctica. Positioned in the center of the frame, Dr. Chadid smiles warmly at the camera, bundled in specialized extreme-cold gear including a heavy royal blue parka with a high collar, black insulated gloves, and a plush black fur hat framing her dark, curly hair. In the immediate foreground on the left stands a large, white, high-precision automated telescope mount labeled "Astro-Physics," which she touches gently with her gloved hand. In the background, a second telescope sits mounted on a sturdy wooden tripod behind a safety netting enclosure, set against a vast, flat expanse of blinding white Antarctic ice that stretches to a crisp, cloudless blue horizon. The crisp daytime composition uses natural polar sunlight to highlight the stark, freezing conditions. The mood is adventurous and triumphant, capturing a historic milestone for women in STEM as the first astronomer to install a major dark-sky observatory in the extreme heart of the Antarctic plateau.

Mary Golda Ross is the first-known #NativeAmerican female engineer & a key pioneer of the US Space Race. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀 A citizen of the Cherokee Nation, she spent >3 decades performing aerospace design & engineering work laying the groundwork for modern interplanetary exploration. #WomenInSTEM 🧵
A black-and-white, profile-angle photograph of Mary Golda Ross (1908–2008), the first known Native American female engineer and a key pioneer of the American Space Race, working at her drafting table. Seated and facing left, Ross rests her forearms on a large drafting surface covered in technical drawings and mathematical graphs. She holds a pencil in her right hand and holds up a sheet of paper with her left, seemingly reviewing complex flight paths or rocket designs. She wears a dark, short-sleeved blouse featuring a light-colored collar, a wrist watch on her left arm, and prominent rounded earrings. Her dark hair is styled neatly away from her face, which carries an expression of quiet focus and intellect. Scattered across the workspace are precision drafting tools, including rulers, a t-square, a technical compass, and an ink well, while a mechanical drafting arm anchors the foreground. The plain paneled walls create a minimalist office environment. The overall mood is serious and professional, highlighting a foundational Indigenous woman in mid-century aerospace engineering.
