As a doctor, I've sat across from parents and told them the words no one should ever have to hear: a single pill laced with fentanyl took their son. That's why I worked with Republicans at the state house to crack down on drug traffickers. I'll never let politics get in the way of saving lives.

NASA mathematician, programmer & manager Dorothy Vaughan became the first Black female supervisor at NACA (precursor to NASA) in 1949. Her life & work, along with those of Katherine Johnson & Mary Jackson inspired the book/film Hidden Figures. She was born #OTD in 1910. #WomenInSTEM
This side-by-side composite image contrasts the real historical figure Dorothy Vaughan with the actress who portrayed her in the 2016 film Hidden Figures, celebrating her legacy as a pioneering NASA mathematician and its first Black female supervisor (1910–2008). On the left, a vintage, black-and-white portrait shows a young Dorothy Vaughan looking directly at the camera with a calm, serene, and dignified expression. She has dark hair pulled neatly back, wide eyes, and a slight, subtle smile. She wears a dark jacket or blouse. The background is completely plain and light, focusing all attention on her composed demeanor. On the right, a vibrant, color photograph of actress Octavia Spencer as Vaughan. She is positioned in a right-facing profile, turning her head back slightly to look toward the viewer with a knowing, confident, and warm expression. She has voluminous, shoulder-length dark hair and is wearing a textured gray blazer. The background is a softly blurred room filled with retro computing technology, including large reel-to-reel tape drives with prominent blue spools, symbolizing the transition to electronic data processing. The overall composition bridges history and modern media, creating an inspiring and respectful mood that honors Vaughan's immense historical significance in aerospace engineering and computer programming.

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams is the second-most experienced female spacewalker with 9 spacewalks. Her total spacewalk time of 62 hours and 6 minutes is fourth overall and the most by a woman. She was born #OTD in 1965. #WomenInSTEM
An official NASA portrait of astronaut Sunita Williams wearing a full white Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. The bulky suit displays an American flag patch on the left shoulder, a mission patch on the right, and various controls on the chest pack; she holds the gold-visored helmet. With long dark hair framing her smiling face, she poses confidently in front of a large draped American flag against a cloudy Earth-toned backdrop, symbolizing American space exploration.

Pathologist Dr. Elizabeth Stern's pioneering research in cytopathology transformed cervical cancer from a frequently fatal disease into a highly treatable and preventable disease. Her research revolutionized women’s healthcare. She was born #OTD in 1915. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white portrait of Canadian-American pathologist Dr. Elizabeth Stern (1915–1980), whose pioneering research in cytopathology transformed cervical cancer into a preventable disease. Dr. Stern is positioned slightly at an angle, facing forward with a calm, composed, and serious expression. Her dark hair is styled in a short, neat wave off her forehead, and her gaze is directed toward the camera. She wears a dark, simple collared blouse with subtle dotted textures. The composition focuses entirely on her upper shoulders and head against a stark, light-colored, uncluttered background that provides a high-contrast framing. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting her facial features. The overall mood is formal, dignified, and academic, capturing a historic visual record of an influential woman in STEM.

Sarah Frances Whiting built the foundation for women in physics (US): + First physics professor at Wellesley College, 1876 + Founded its physics & astronomy depts + Opened the 2nd undergrad #physics lab in the US (the 1st exclusively for women) + Co-founded the Whitin Observatory 🔭 #WomenInSTEM 🧵
A black-and-white portrait of Sarah Frances Whiting (1847–1927), a pioneering physicist, astronomer, and the founding director of Wellesley College’s Whitin Observatory, who established the first physics lab for American women. Standing in a three-quarter turn against a plain, textured studio background, she looks directly at the camera with a serious, composed, and analytical expression. She wears a dark, structured Victorian dress featuring an intricately beaded or embroidered high-collared bodice, a lace collar around her neck, and a bustled skirt. Her dark hair is styled in a neat updo. Her right arm rests gracefully against her side, while her right hand rests on the ornate wooden backrest of a chair visible in the lower-left foreground. The lighting highlights her face and the intricate texture of her dress, creating a dignified, academic, and historically significant mood that reflects her authority as a foundational institutional builder in STEM.

A back-and-white photograph of marine biologist and educator Dr. Joan Murrell Owens (1933–2011), who overcame the systemic barriers of racism and the physical limitations of sickle-cell anemia to become one of the first African American women to earn a PhD in geology, famously discovering three new species of button coral. Positioned in the right midground, she is looking directly at the viewer with a calm, intelligent, and dignified expression. Her dark hair is styled short and curly, framing a face characterized by wide, soulful eyes and a subtle, knowing smile. She wears a patterned blouse or top paired with a delicate, single-strand pearl necklace that sits elegantly against her collarbone. In the immediate left foreground sits a modern compound microscope, its black eyepiece and white metal body sharply defined. The setting is a laboratory or study, with soft-focus wooden shelves stacked with geological specimens and scientific materials visible in the shallow-depth-of-field background. The overall mood is one of quiet determination, intellectual authority, and historical distinction, beautifully capturing the essence of a pioneering woman in STEM whose legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists.
