Geologist & educator Dr. Florence Bascom was the: + Second woman to earn a Ph.D. in #geology in the US, 1893 + First woman to earn a Ph.D. of any kind from John's Hopkins + First female scientist hired by the United States Geological Survey She was born #OTD in 1862. #WomenInSTEM #USGS
Striking studio portrait of a young Dr. Florence Bascom (1862–1945), historically significant as a pioneering educator and the second woman in the United States to earn a Ph.D. in geology. Photographed from the chest up against a stark, solid black background, Bascom poses with her body turned slightly to the left while her face turns gently forward. She wears a formal, light-colored Victorian gown featuring voluminous, gathered silk fabric on the shoulders and a wide neckline heavily adorned with a thick, frothy trim of delicate white lace or ruffles. Her light brown hair is softly swept up into an elegant, slightly loose chignon. Bascom maintains a serene yet deeply focused and intelligent expression, her light eyes looking slightly off-camera with a contemplative air. The high-contrast, black-and-white composition highlights her fine features, creating a formal, dignified mood that underscores her historic status as a trailblazing academic and female scientist.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

By Douglas MacMillan
When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the Jan. 3 death of detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp, the agency said “staff observed him in distress,” and it gave no cause of death.

An employee of El Paso County’s Office of the Medical Examiner told Lunas Campos’s daughter this week that, subject to results of a toxicology report, the office is likely to classify the death as a homicide, according to a recording of the conversation.

In the recording, which the daughter shared with The Washington Post, the employee said a doctor there “is listing the preliminary cause of death as asphyxia due to neck and chest compression,” which means Lunas Campos did not get enough oxygen because of pressure on his neck and chest. Pending the results of a toxicology report, the staffer said on the recording, “our doctor is believing that we’re going to be listing the manner of death as homicide.”In an interview with The Post, Santos Jesus Flores, a man who says he was detained in the segregation unit the day Lunas Campos died, said he saw at least five guards struggling with Lunas Campos after he refused to enter the segregation unit, complaining that he didn’t have his medications. Flores said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, “No puedo respirar” — Spanish for “I can’t breathe.” Medical staff tried to resuscitate him for an hour, after which they took his body away, Flores said.

“He said, ‘I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe.’ After that, we don’t hear his voice anymore and that’s it,” said Flores, who had contacted a family member of Lunas Campos, who in turn put him in touch with a Post reporter. The Post confirmed Flores was in Camp East Montana through ICE’s detainee locator.
