Mary Lasker took her cause to congress and the American public as a leading proponent of the National Cancer Act. She said, "If you think research is expensive, try disease!" 14552181

In a field dominated by men, she not only excelled but also shattered stereotypes, demonstrating that women drive groundbreaking discoveries in science. 🔬 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM 231986

They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline. 887261225237
