Biochemist Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn was born #OTD in 1948.

She shared the 2009 #Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of the enzyme telomerase & how chromosomes are protected by telomeres. This has 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 implications for the fields of #aging and #cancer research. #WomenInSTEM

Keep seeing this stuff online about de-centering men and as a older #autistic woman...When was I supposed to be centering them in the first place?

I’m loving “Be a sticky out frock in a world of pencil skirts” 😁

A close up of someone's hands held out, palm to the camera. Their hands are colourful with words in different colours. In the middle of each palm are the words "just" and "me" with descriptive words around them. They are wearing a dark blue/purple t-shirt. Underneath in bold white text it reads "Be uniquely you. Stand out. Shine. Be colourful." Attributed to Amy Leigh Mercree
