#OTD in 2015, Chinese pharmaceutical chemist & malariologist Tu Youyou won the #Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for her discoveries concerning a novel therapy against Malaria." The therapy saved millions of lives—particularly across Asia, Africa, and South America. #wow #WomenInSTEM
A close-up photograph captures Tu Youyou (born 1930), the historic Chinese pharmaceutical chemist, malariologist, and educator who won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering artemisinin, a breakthrough malaria therapy that saved millions of lives globally. She is positioned on the left side of the composition, facing forward while gazing warmly toward the right with a soft, gentle smile and thoughtful eyes. She wears thin, oval-shaped metallic eyeglasses secured by a black beaded lanyard chain draped over her ears, and a textured, dark red knit sweater featuring a black pattern around the collar. Her dark hair is styled back in a voluminous, short cut. The minimalist background consists of a solid, dark slate-blue wall with the blurry top of a white ceramic teapot visible in the lower right corner, casting a peaceful, revered, and deeply dignified mood that honors her immense contribution to global public health.

Dr. Jane Goodall died #OTD in 2025. She was a primatologist, anthropologist & conservationist regarded as the world’s foremost expert on wild chimpanzees. Her field research revolutionized our understanding of primates & redefined what it means to be human. janegoodall.org #WomenInSTEM
A feel-good photograph of world-renowned primatologist and anthropologist Dr. Jane Goodall (1934-2025), famous for her groundbreaking, decades-long study of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park. In this intimate shot, Dr. Goodall is positioned on the right, her profile turned left toward a young chimpanzee resting its hand affectionately on her shoulder. Her gray hair is tied back in a signature low ponytail, and she wears a white button-up shirt with thin red and blue vertical stripes. Her eyes are closed, and her mouth is puckered as she mimics a vocalization, creating a profound, empathetic connection with the chimpanzee, who tilts its head back with its mouth wide open in a matching vocal expression. The background is a soft, blurred palette of green and tan nature tones, keeping the focus entirely on their interaction. The composition exudes a tender, joyful, and harmonious mood, highlighting the historical significance of her revolutionary approach to treating animals as individuals with minds, emotions, and distinct personalities.

Maria Ressa was awarded the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize (with Dmitry Muratov) for "their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for #democracy and lasting peace." She is the first Nobel laureate from the Philippines. Happy birthday @mariaressa.bsky.social 🥳
A color photograph of Maria Ressa, born October 2, 1963, the pioneering Filipino journalist, co-founder of Rappler, and co-recipient of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. She is standing at a dark wooden podium, captured from the chest up. Smiling broadly with an expression of joy and animation, she looks slightly to the right of the frame. She wears thin, rimless eyeglasses, a black turtleneck, and a textured, patterned blazer in shades of cream and light pink or soft orange. Her right hand is raised forward with her palm open and fingers extended in a welcoming, expressive gesture, while her left hand grips the flexible neck of a black microphone attached to the podium. The warm, soft-focus background suggests a grand indoor lecture hall or auditorium with architectural details. The bright, direct lighting emphasizes her optimistic and commanding presence, reflecting her historical significance as a fearless champion of freedom of expression and democratic resilience.

Syrian refugee Jin Dawod turned her own experience of displacement into a global mental health lifeline for refugees. After fleeing the Syrian civil war as a teenager and finding refuge in Türkiye, she carried the invisible weight of fear, uncertainty and isolation.

While studying computer engineering, Jin set out to create a solution: an online therapy platform connecting refugees with psychologists in their mother tongue. In 2018, she founded Peace Therapist, a digital psychological support platform providing accessible mental health care to refugees in four languages.

A recipient of the 2024 Nansen Refugee Award for Europe, Jin is recognized for her dedication to healing trauma, fostering resilience and helping people find inner peace, essential steps toward creating a more peaceful world.

“I wanted to make a solution that is accessible, anonymous and in the mother language for the people who are reaching out for help.”

Images of Maricarmen Abascal being forcibly removed from her home sparked protests and a reckoning over the country’s soaring real estate market Images of an octogenarian being evicted from the home she had lived in for seven decades on a stretcher, flanked by protesters and police officers, sparked indignation across Spain. Hours later, people began taking to the streets. In Madrid, an estimated 10,000 people turned up on Wednesday, wielding signs that read “Shame” and “Out with the vulture funds”, to protest against the eviction of Maricarmen Abascal.
