Claudine Picardet French chemist, mineralogist, meteorologist, scientific translator of scientific literature from Swedish, English, German & Italian to French: 3 books, 1000s of pgs of scientific papers. Hosted scientific salons in Dijon & Paris. d. #OTD 4 Oct 1820 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudin...
Claudine Picardet (later Baronne Guyton de Morveau) standing, holding book to symbolise her work as a translator. She is wearing a low-necked lacy white dress with a pink waist, and an elaborate greyish wig. Cropped from group painting. Probable dates for the painting are between 1782 (when the group shown began working on nomenclature) and 1816 when her 2nd husband Baron Guyton de Morveau (shown in the full painting) died. #WomenInSTEM #HistSTEM #HistSTEM #EiffelTower

#OTD in 2018, optical physicist Dr. Donna Strickland became the third woman to win the #Nobel Prize in Physics and the first in 55 years. Strickland (+Drs. Ashkin & Mourou) won for advancing the science of lasers & creating extremely useful tools out of laser beams. 🧵 #WomenInSTEM #physics
A color portrait of the optical physicist and Nobel laureate Dr. Donna Strickland smiling warmly at the camera. Born in 1959, her historical significance is cemented as the third woman to ever win the Nobel Prize in Physics, which she achieved in 2018 for her revolutionary breakthroughs in laser technology. She has shoulder-length greying hair with straight bangs, black rectangular-framed glasses, and an authentic, open-mouthed expression showing a prominent smile. She is posed leaning forward slightly, wearing a crisp white blouse underneath a structured, dark grey textured blazer. Pinned meticulously to her left lapel is the distinctive, circular gold Nobel Prize medal lapel pin, a visual anchor highlighting her monumental achievements. The setting is a brightly lit, modern office environment with a clean, softly blurred background featuring a touch of green foliage. The composition is clean and centered, emphasizing a brilliant, highly approachable, and celebrated pioneer in science.
