Black-and-white photograph of Marie Curie in her Paris laboratory. She stands in a long dark dress with a high collar, carefully holding a glass round-bottom flask, surrounded by early 20th-century scientific equipment including a large glass carboy on the bench behind her. The two-time Nobel laureate is captured mid-experiment, focused and composed.
Black-and-white photograph of IrΓ¨ne Joliot-Curie in a white lab coat at the Radium Institute. Marie Curieβs daughter and 1935 Nobel Chemistry co-winner stands at a workbench lined with beakers, test tubes, and glassware, her expression serious and concentrated amid the tools of radioactivity research.
#OTD in 1903, Marie Curie became the first woman to win a #Nobel Prize (#Physics).
AND
#OTD in 1935, her daughter Irene Joliot-Curie won the Nobel Prize in #Chemistry for the discovery of artificial radioactivity.
They're the only motherβdaughter pair to have both won Nobel Prizes. #WomenInSTEM

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.
Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. π
Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.
You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

A graph titled "How Universities Became So Dependent on the Federal Government" that shows how university research funding in the U.S. has increased by tens of billions of dollars between the end of the Korean War in 1953 and present day.
For decades, American universities got billions in federal dollars for research. The relationship was mutually beneficial, until President Trump decided it wasnβt. Hereβs a look at this relationship and how it has started to unravel. nyti.ms/4in7x7i
