Geophysicist & space physicist Marcia Neugebauer made the first direct solar wind measurements via instruments on the Mariner 2 spacecraft. She developed instruments used on Earth-orbiting satellites, Apollo lunar experiments & the Giotto mission to Halley’s Comet. Born #OTD in 1932. #WomenInSTEM

A black-and-white historical photograph of pioneering geophysicist and space physicist Marcia Neugebauer (born September 27, 1932) working at her desk during the mid-20th century. Sitting in an office setting, she leans forward slightly over her desk, looking directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and focused expression. She has short, bobbed light hair and wears a short-sleeved, collared white button-up blouse adorned with subtle vertical embroidered details down the front. In her right hand, she holds a pencil over large documents and charts with plotted scientific data curves spread out on the desk before her. To her right sits a large, vintage mechanical calculating machine with columns of buttons, characteristic of the 1960s computing era. The background features window blinds and office storage, creating an environment of rigorous research. The image captures the historical significance of a trailblazing woman in STEM whose work with these charts and calculations would confirm the existence of the solar wind via the Mariner 2 spacecraft.

Mary Allen Wilkes is a pioneering computer scientist, logic designer, and attorney. She is celebrated for writing the foundational system software for the LINC (1960s), which is widely recognized as the world's first personal computer. She was born #OTD in 1937 & is 89 today. #WomenInSTEM #CompSci

Photograph of Mary Allen Wilkes (born 1937), the pioneering computer scientist, logic designer, and attorney renowned for writing the foundational operating system software for the LINC, the world's first personal computer. She is shown from the chest up, facing slightly to her right with an open, engaging expression and a warm smile. She has short, styled white hair and wears thin, round wire-rimmed spectacles. Her attire features a layered ensemble: a dark grey or taupe turtleneck sweater paired with an open black cardigan jacket. She wears a prominent, tiered statement necklace consisting of three nested strands of oblong black, grey, and cream beads.The backdrop is an understated, minimalist office or lecture setting with pale beige walls and a dark vertical partition line visible on the left. In the lower right corner, the glossy edge of a modern laptop screen is partially visible, hinting at a professional presentation or speaking engagement. The overall composition is clean and centered, creating an approachable, intellectually distinguished mood that underscores her lasting historical significance as an elder stateswoman of computer science and law.
