Letitia Chitty (d. #OTD in 1982) was a pioneering British structural engineer & mathematician. A master of stress analysis, she spent her career mathematically determining the "breaking points" of complex structures, ranging from #WWI combat aircraft to major international dams. #WomenInSTEM

A monochromatic sepia-toned photograph of British structural engineer and mathematician Letitia Chitty (July 15, 1897 – September 29, 1982), a premier pioneer of 20th-century stress analysis. Positioned in a front-facing, head-and-shoulders composition, she looks directly at the camera with a sober, neutral expression and tight lips. Her dark hair is parted neatly down the center and pulled back into a simple bun. She is dressed in a dark blazer or coat layered over a high-collared, patterned blouse or knit sweater visible at the neckline. The background consists of soft, textured drapery in warm, out-of-focus sepia tones. The tight framing captures her sharp, determined demeanor, evoking a serious and intellectually focused mood. The vintage composition highlights her immense historical significance as the first woman to graduate with first-class honors in Cambridge’s Mechanical Sciences Tripos.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

🔭 Astrophysicist Dr. Andrea Dupree: + Led the team that used the Hubble to capture the first image of a star's surface + Discovered fast, hot winds emitting from young stars (advanced understanding of early planetary environments) + Contributed to the ongoing search of exoplanets #WomenInSTEM 🧵

A close-up photograph of internationally recognized astrophysicist Dr. Andrea Kundsin Dupree (born September 17, 1939) smiling directly at the camera. Dr. Dupree is celebrated for major scientific breakthroughs, including leading the team that captured the first direct image of another star's surface (Betelgeuse) using the Hubble Space Telescope, discovering fast, hot stellar winds, and serving as the first female Associate Director at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian. In the photograph, she is shown from the chest up, leaning slightly toward the right. Her joyful expression features a wide, open-mouthed smile, crinkling around her blue eyes, and vibrant short blonde hair parted to the side. She wears a solid black V-neck t-shirt accessorized with large silver hoop earrings and a prominent, colorful statement necklace composed of oversized, smooth, rounded beads in alternating shades of red, green, purple, orange, pink, and translucent blue. The background is a softly blurred outdoor setting, bathed in the warm, golden light of late afternoon or sunset. It reveals dry, grassy terrain with low shrubs and sparse trees under an open sky, creating a relaxed and cheerful mood.

Nurse & #WWII veteran Elsie Chin Yuen Seetoo was born #OTD in 1918 & is 108 today! The first Chinese-American to serve in the US Army Nurse Corps. She received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2020. ..🧵 #WomenInSTEM #Nursing #Veterans

A poignant moment showing an elderly Elsie Chin Yuen Seetoo (1918–2026) sitting in a wheelchair next to a large archival display of her wartime service. Positioned on the left, she wears an iconic white and gold military side cap, a light blue collared shirt beneath a tan knit cardigan, and classic wire-rimmed glasses. She smiles gently toward the camera with fingers on her right hand bandaged. To her right stands a prominent black-and-white exhibition portrait of her younger self in uniform, showcasing her thick, curly dark hair and a determined expression. Below this historic image, a white informational plaque details her pioneering achievements as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps. The setting is a modern, brightly lit museum or gallery interior featuring clean walls and polished dark wooden paneling. The composition creates a powerful juxtaposition between youth and age, reflecting a reflective, celebratory mood that honors her profound, lifelong historical legacy.
