British physiologist Dr. Hilda Tracy co-isolated and sequenced gastrin, the first gastrointestinal hormone fully sequenced. Her research at the University of Liverpool transformed our understanding of gastric acid and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. She was born #OTD in 1927. #WomenInSTEM #MedSky
A close-up, black-and-white studio portrait of pioneering British physiologist Dr. Hilda Tracy (1927–2010), co-discoverer of the molecular structure of the gastrointestinal hormone gastrin. Positioned in the center of the frame against a completely dark, minimalist background, she faces forward with her head slightly angled to the right. Her expressive light eyes look just past the camera with an intelligent, direct, and slightly serious gaze, complemented by a soft, subtle smile. Her light-colored hair is styled in a voluminous, brushed-back coiffure typical of the mid-20th century, with soft bangs gently framing her forehead. She wears a dark, solid-colored under-shirt paired with a heavy, textured tweed or houndstooth patterned blazer featuring prominent lapels. The composition uses dramatic, high-contrast studio lighting from the upper left, casting gentle shadows across her face and highlighting her features. The overall mood is dignified, professional, and intellectually focused, reflecting her significant historical contributions to medical science.

#OTD in 2019, Dr. Esther Duflo was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics (along with two colleagues) for their "experimental approach to alleviating global poverty.” She is the youngest person and the second woman to win the award. #WomenInSTEM #economics
Nobel laureate Dr. Esther Duflo (born 1972) standing outdoors with a confident and serene demeanor. The French-American economist, celebrated for her historic 2019 Nobel Prize win in Economic Sciences for her experimental approach to alleviating global poverty, stands in the foreground just off center to the left. She is composed with her arms folded across her chest, looking directly into the camera with a gentle, assured smile. Her short, dark brown hair is styled in a neat bob that frames her face. She wears a simple, long-sleeved blue tunic shirt featuring an unstructured mandarin collar with subtle grey-and-white striped detailing along the trim. The setting appears to be a courtyard or walkway adjacent to a multi-story red brick building, visible on the left. In the soft-focused background, lush green trees and a dark metal railing line the pathway, casting a natural, warm light over the scene.
