Mrs. Geologist

History has overlooked these 8 women scientists — but not anymore These pioneering women were behind some of history’s greatest discoveries, from the greenhouse effect and nuclear fission to the structure of DNA and breakthrough leprosy treatment.

Happy International Women’s Day! Today I’m reflecting on these inspiring women whose contributions to science were initially overlooked. Let’s use today to highlight their stories and uplift current and future generations of women in STEM. Who are you celebrating today?👩‍🔬🧪💚

Did you know the last common ancestor of #zebrafish & humans was ~450 million years ago? A whole genome duplication event (3R) occurred early in the teleost fish phylogeny. Despite this event, zebrafish & humans have about the same number of chromosomes (25 & 23, respectively). #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪

We are all in the debris field of a SpaceX mishap

The next Canadian Prime Minister should appoint Trudeau as Ambassador to the United States.

Federal employees should only agree to answer Elon’s questionnaire if he agrees to a drug test

If your voice held no power, They wouldnt try to silence you

They really are.

Bishop Urges Trump To 'Have Mercy' In Powerful Plea During Inauguration Prayer Service Love this ❤️ And his reaction!

Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

Vivek Ramaswamy expected to depart DOGE Trump's choice to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency is expected to announce a gubernatorial campaign after the new administration begins.

Vivek Ramaswamy is reportedly out at the DOGE committee as he has worn out his welcome with Elon Musk and others in Trump world. www.cbsnews.com/news/vivek-r...

Things you can do instead of watching the inauguration:

- look up your local Democratic committee
- make a plan to volunteer for local Democratic races
- elevate Democratic polices
- don’t sh*t talk Democrats

I hope you all are finding peace tomorrow on MLK Day and avoiding the noise 💕

Thank you Joe Biden.

Pass it on.

Don’t be glum about the long, cold winter. Look around: the trees are busy, not sleeping. When the temperature permits, cells in this bud are dividing, maturing into flowers, leaves, stems. The cambium, maker of all the trees, is preparing for its spring festivities. Be like a tree: keep growing.

Same same. Being a government employee right now is nerve wracking.

This Red Squirrel strikes a playful pose mid stride on a tree branch, its fluffy tail arched behind it and one paw confidently raised as though giving a bold wave. With its tufted ears alert and eyes wide, the squirrel looks full of energy, its reddish-brown fur standing out against the bark. A perfect snapshot of woodland mischief and charm.

No words, just Red Squirrel energy.

Does anyone else remember the #rockagainstbush albums? Can someone please bring these back but make a Trump version? Thnx.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
