Biochemist Dr. Florence Seibert developed the Purified Protein Derivative in the 1930s that standardized tuberculosis testing worldwide by 1952. Before her work, TB skin tests were inconsistent/unreliable.It remains the basis for the TB skin test used today. Born #OTD in 1897. #WomenInSTEM

A vintage black-and-white studio portrait features biochemist Dr. Florence Seibert (1900–1991), famed for developing the Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) that standardized tuberculosis testing worldwide. Captured from the chest up, she poses in a three-quarter turn while looking directly at the camera with a subtle, intelligent smile, establishing a serene, professional, and historically significant mood. Her dark hair is styled in a classic 1920s short bob featuring prominent finger waves framing her forehead. She wears delicate, rimless spectacles and a light-colored blouse designed with a prominent collar and soft ruffled detailing along the edges. The composition employs soft-focus lighting typical of early 20th-century photography, casting gentle highlights across her face against a smooth, dark, non-descript studio backdrop. In the bottom right corner, a faint, embossed photographer's stamp adds an authentic period touch to this archival image celebrating a foundational figure in medicine.

Taikonaut Dr. Liu Yang was the first Chinese woman to travel into space, 2012. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀 In 2022, Liu returned to orbit on Shenzhou 14, helping build the Tiangong Space Station & performing a historic spacewalk. She is also a military transport pilot. She was born #OTD in 1978. #WomenInSTEM

A portrait of Chinese taikonaut Dr. Liu Yang (born 1978), historic space pioneer and the first Chinese woman in space, appearing in her formal spacesuit assembly. The medium close-up shot focuses on her face as she glances off-camera to the left with a subtle, serene smile and clear, focused eyes, creating a calm and determined mood. She is securely fitted into her white intravehicular spacesuit, which features a heavy metal helmet locking ring resting on her collarbones, complete with metal clasps and a blue name badge reading "刘洋 / Yang Liu". Wrapped tightly over her head is a dark, functional communication cap fitted with earphones and an integrated black adjustable boom microphone positioned directly in front of her mouth. The background is a solid, warm brown wooden paneling that isolates the subject, drawing total attention to the tech-heavy gear and her calm demeanor. The composition highlights her historical significance as a symbol of human spaceflight exploration and a trailblazer for women in science and aviation.

Ana Roqué de Duprey was a Puerto Rican educational trailblazer. At just 13, she opened a school in her home & wrote a #geography textbook later adopted across PR. She went on to found multiple girls' schools & co-found the U. of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. She died #OTD in 1933.🧵 #education #HigherEd

An oil painting captures Ana Roqué de Duprey (1853–1933), the historic Puerto Rican educational reformer, pioneering botanist, astronomer, and foundational suffragist. Shown in her later years, she is positioned facing slightly to the right of the frame, looking directly out with a warm, gentle smile and wise, soft eyes. Her silver-gray hair is split with a neat center part and pulled back cleanly into a bun. She wears a formal, dark navy or black Victorian-era gown featuring a prominent white scalloped collar that rests flat across her shoulders, accented by a large, matching dark bow securely tied at the center of her neck. The setting is a minimalist, plain dark brown backdrop that draws full focus to her visage. The composition mimics a traditional nineteenth-century studio portrait, conveying a dignified, revered, and deeply intellectual mood that underscores her immense historical significance as an island-wide icon of empowerment.

Zionism is racism. The United Nations voted to declare it as such in 1975, half a century ago. This isn’t new, and this isn’t controversial.

I’m Palestinian, and my criticism of the Israeli government, its policies, and the actions of the Israeli military is not hatred of Jews, and it should not be portrayed as such. Jewish people are not the Israeli government, and Israelis are not all responsible for their government’s decisions.

Headlines like “Has Woke Gone Too Far” or “Has ‘Me Too’ Gone Too Far” are a tell that those movements are just starting to take off. They are terrified of Black ethos breaking containment and so everything they can to shut down momentum.
