Engineer & cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman to fly in space in Vostok 6. She was just 26. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀 The only woman to ever fly a solo space mission. She spent 3 days alone in space & orbited the Earth 48 times...inside the little pod in the pic. Extraordinary. #WomenInSTEM

A classic color portrait of Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman to fly in space, taken in her mid-20s shortly after her 1963 Vostok 6 mission. She is in full Soviet Air Force uniform, wearing a brown military jacket with blue and red shoulder boards, a tie, and a chest covered in numerous medals and orders (including the Hero of the Soviet Union star, Lenin Order, and others). Her short dark hair is neatly styled, and she gazes to the right of the camera with a calm, resolute, and dignified expression against a plain blue-gray background. The image highlights her pioneering role as the first female cosmonaut and her decorated status as a national hero of the Soviet Union.

A color photograph taken at the Science Museum's Cosmonauts exhibition, showing Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova standing beside a full-scale replica or original Vostok 6 spacecraft capsule. The spherical, dark metallic capsule with a circular window and visible hatch is displayed on a stand under dramatic red lighting. Tereshkova, an older woman with short gray hair, wears a dark patterned jacket over a light blouse, and looks toward the camera with a composed, proud expression. The image captures her as the first woman in space (June 16, 1963), standing next to the very vehicle she piloted during her historic solo Vostok 6 mission.

Jody Williams & International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) shared the 1997 #Nobel Peace Prize for their work for the banning & clearing of anti-personnel mines. She was born #OTD in 1950. Williams was the founding coordinator & key organizer of the ICBL, launched in 1992 with six NGOs.🧵

A studio portrait of political activist Jody Williams (born October 9, 1950), the core organizer of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines who shared the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for her historic disarmament efforts. The subject is framed from the chest up against a plain, neutral grey-beige background. Tilted slightly to her right, she faces the camera with a bright, genuine, open-mouthed smile that creases the corners of her expressive eyes. Her light blonde hair is cut into a short, textured style with soft bangs framing her forehead. She wears a simple, solid black V-neck top, which beautifully contrasts with her fair complexion. She wears a thin metallic necklace holding a small, intricate pendant featuring a dark red or purple gemstone. The lighting is soft and directional, illuminating her face and casting subtle shadows that highlight her features. The composition focuses entirely on her approachable demeanor, evoking a warm, hopeful, and deeply human mood that balances her status as an influential global diplomat with her grassroots origin.

#OTD in 2020, Emmanuelle Charpentier & Jennifer Doudna won the #Nobel Prize in #Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing" (referring to their groundbreaking work on the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors). They were the first all-female team to win a Nobel in science. #WomenInSTEM

A side-by-side composite photo of French microbiologist Emmanuelle Charpentier (born December 11, 1968) on the left and American biochemist Jennifer Doudna (born February 19, 1964) on the right. The pair made history by developing the CRISPR-Cas9 "genetic scissors" technology in 2012, which earned them the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. On the left, Dr. Charpentier stands indoors with her hands casually resting in her jeans pockets, looking directly at the camera with a calm, subtle smile. She wears a dark blue tailored blazer over a dark buttoned shirt. Behind her is a large chalkboard filled with scientific diagrams and hand-written biological terms like "ADN Virus," "RNA," "Cas9," and "Bact." On the right, Dr. Doudna stands outdoors with her arms crossed, smiling warmly. She is wearing a brown structured blazer over a dark V-neck top, paired with dark jeans and a black belt. She is positioned before a large, minimalist silver metal sculpture made of intersecting arches, with a soft-focus background of green trees. The composition blends the rigorous, analytical workspace of the laboratory with an open, organic outdoor environment, evoking a professional, accomplished, and confident mood that emphasizes their revolutionary impact on biotechnology.

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.

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.

English physician & epidemiologist Dr. Alice Stewart is best-known for her pioneering research in the 1950s that established a strong link between prenatal X-ray exposure and childhood leukemia. Her work influenced radiation protection standards. She was born #OTD in 1906. #WomenInSTEM #MedSky

Black-and-white photograph of English physician and pioneering epidemiologist Dr. Alice Stewart (1906–2002) working at her desk, symbolizing her groundbreaking research linking prenatal X-ray exposure to childhood leukemia. The composition positions Dr. Stewart on the left side of the frame, angled slightly toward the camera. She sits at a wooden desk with her body turned forward, leaning her forearms against the surface. Holding a pen in her right hand, she is captured in the act of writing on loose-leaf papers, looking directly at the viewer with a slight, knowing smile and an intelligent, engaged expression. Her dark hair is short, textured, and styled in loose curls around her face. She wears a crisp, light-colored medical lab coat over a textured collared shirt or blouse. The setting is a research lab or office environment. Positioned prominently in the background on the desk to her left is a large, classic black compound microscope. Stacks of research papers, documents, and reference materials are scattered across the workspace. The overall mood is intellectual, professional, and deeply focused, capturing a legendary scientist whose rigorous data collection transformed global radiation protection standards.

Climate change is speeding up four kinds of risk at once: • climatological (heat, drought, fire weather) • hydrological (floods, water scarcity) • biological (disease, ecosystem collapse) • geomorphological (landslides, erosion, thaw) They do not arrive one by one. They stack.
