Everyone who attends the State of the Union, 5 seconds after Trump begins his speech, stand up and walk out.
The message would be heard all over the world. Don't forget to shout and repeat Pedophile President, Pedophile President.

A vintage sepia-toned portrait photograph of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann taken in 1932, at around age 44. She is posed formally against a softly draped curtain backdrop, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. She has short, neatly waved dark hair and wears a simple, elegant dark blouse or dress with a light-colored V-neck insert or scarf tied loosely. The photographer's signature, "Nachtwey 1932," appears in the lower right corner in a flowing script. The image captures her poised and thoughtful demeanor during the early years of her groundbreaking career in seismology, before her landmark discovery of Earth's solid inner core in 1936. #seismology
Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann fundamentally changed our understanding of the Earth's interior by discovering its solid inner core in 1936. Often referred to as ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ข ๐ฃ๐ญ๐ข๐ค๐ฌ ๐ข๐ณ๐ต due to her incredible ability to interpret complex seismic records by hand.
She died #OTD in 1993 #WomenInSTEM

A warm, color portrait photograph of Nobel Prize-winning biochemist and pharmacologist Gertrude B. Elion in her later years, taken in a laboratory setting. She is an older woman with short, curly reddish-gray hair, fair skin with freckles, and a gentle, warm smile as she looks directly at the camera with kind, thoughtful eyes. She wears a white lab coat over a light beige blouse and a soft beige scarf draped around her neck, along with small gold earrings. Behind her are scientific instruments, glassware, a large metal vat or reactor, and lab equipment, evoking her groundbreaking work developing life-saving drugs like those for leukemia, gout, and organ transplant rejection. The image captures her dignified, approachable presence and enduring legacy as a pioneer in drug discovery who shared the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

A side-by-side composite photograph featuring wildlife conservationist Kelsey Prediger on the left and a ground pangolin on the right, framed together with a warm savanna background. On the left, Kelsey Prediger, a woman with long light pink hair, smiles brightly at the camera while sitting in tall golden grass during late afternoon light. She wears a light blue/green button-up shirt, blue jeans, and holds a compact trail camera or monitoring device in both hands. On the right, a ground pangolin (scaly anteater) is captured in a natural walking pose on dry, earthy ground, its body covered in large overlapping tan-brown scales, small head lowered, long tongue slightly extended, and powerful clawed forelimbs visible. The image highlights Kelsey's work in pangolin conservation, with the animal appearing alert and characteristic of its shy, nocturnal nature in the African bushveld.

A warm, color photograph of physicist and nanotechnologist Mildred Dresselhaus in her later years, seated in what appears to be her office or study. She is an older woman with white hair styled in a loose braid, smiling joyfully with her head tilted slightly upward and eyes sparkling with delight. She wears a vibrant red cardigan adorned with intricate blue-and-red patterned embroidery, a navy blue scarf or blouse underneath, and several colorful pins or medals on her lapel. Behind her is a bookshelf filled with books and papers, and a striking large circular artwork or tapestry with bright multicolored floral or mandala-like patterns in reds, yellows, blues, and oranges hangs on the wall, adding a lively, artistic backdrop to the scene. The image captures her radiant personality, intellectual warmth, and enduring passion for science. #Skystorians #AcademicSky #Physics #WomenInScience

A classic black-and-white portrait photograph of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer, taken in a classroom or lecture setting. She stands in front of a large chalkboard filled with handwritten nuclear physics equations, nuclear mass data, and element symbols (including notations like Iยนยฒโน, Crโตยฒ, and various alpha, beta, and gamma values). Goeppert Mayer has a thoughtful, focused expression as she gazes upward slightly, with her lips pursed in concentration. She wears a patterned dress with short-sleeved matching jacket with a geometric black-and-white design, a pearl necklace, and her hair styled in soft curls. In her hands, she holds a wooden slide rule.
Theoretical physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer died #OTD in 1972.
She shared the 1963 #Nobel Prize in Physics (w/Wigner & Jensen) "for their discoveries concerning nuclear shell structure." She was the second woman to win a Nobel in #physics. (Who was the first?)
