A graphic of a banner reading ‘Women’s History Month’ with two illustrated characters of varying genders raising their arms to indicate the words. One uses a wheelchair with Mosaic’s line shapes on the wheel, and wears their hair in a short bob. The second wears a jumper and a hijab with Mosaic’s triangle shape on it.

Happy #WHM from Team Mosaic to you! To celebrate this year’s theme: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future, we’ll be sharing stories of LGBT+ women leading the way in sustainability—from climate action to community care - throughout the month. Stay tuned to learn with us, and celebrate their impact 💚🏳️‍🌈

A colourful graphic celebrating #LGBT+HistoryMonth and the theme of #ScienceAndInnovation. Illustrated hands wave progress pride flags around an illustration of Jemma Redmond, a white person with their hair up and wearing a cardigan, who is smiling. The background is framed with the pride flag colours.

Text reading: Jemma Redmond (1978–2016) was a trailblazing biotech innovator who co-founded the company Ourobotics, where she developed groundbreaking 3D bioprinters capable of printing living tissues and organs and designed ways to keep cells alive during printing — making her a leading figure in tissue engineering. Redmond’s interest in biotechnology was driven in part by her lived experience as an intersex person, which fuelled her mission to make cutting-edge medical technology more accessible and approachable for future patients and researchers alike. This #LGBT+HistoryMonth, we celebrate her visionary work — and the ongoing impact of LGBT+ people in science and technology!

This #LGBT+HistoryMonth, we’re celebrating queer innovators in science 🧬🌈 Today’s spotlight: Jemma Redmond (1978–2016), an Irish biotechnologist who co-founded Ourobotics and pioneered 3D bioprinting of living tissues—reshaping regenerative medicine.

#LGBTHistory #LGBTCommunity

A colourful graphic celebrating #LGBT+HistoryMonth and the theme of #ScienceAndInnovation. Illustrated hands wave progress pride flags around an illustrated silhouette of Elke Mackenzie and a microscope. The background is framed with the pride flag colours.

Text reading: Elke Mackenzie (1911–1990) was a British botanist and lichenologist who specialised in studying lichens — complex organisms formed from fungi and algae — including species found in some of the harshest environments on earth. Educated in Botany at the University of Edinburgh, she went on to work at major scientific institutions, including the British Museum (Natural History), universities in Argentina and Canada, and as Director of the Farlow Herbarium at Harvard University. Her fieldwork included expeditions to Antarctica, where she collected and documented many lichen species, some new to science. In 1971, Elke transitioned and formally adopted her name, continuing to live and work as her true self despite the prejudice she faced within academic institutions at the time. Her legacy lives on in the many lichens and Antarctic features named in her honour — including biological terms and species bearing her name — and through the example she set as a queer scientist breaking barriers in natural science.

It’s #LGBTplusHistoryMonth & this year’s theme is #ScienceAndInnovation 🌈 Today we’re celebrating Elke Mackenzie (she/her), a pioneering botanist and polar explorer whose research on lichens — including Antarctic species — expanded scientific knowledge and broke barriers in natural science 🏳️‍🌈🔬

🧵👇It’s been an especially hard few years for our trans, non-binary, and GNC community. You can find resources for young trans people, as well as parents, teachers, and friends, in our #TransResources highlight on Instagram (@themosaictrust).

🧵👇We’ll bring the bouquet to Mil Veces un Instante, the Fourth Plinth artwork by Teresa Margolles featuring the faces of 726 trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people—including members of our community. The work honours all those we’ve lost and all who continue to fight for their rights.

Illustrated graphic for Trans Day of Remembrance featuring five lit candles in pastel pink, blue, and white at the center. Soft yellow light surrounds the candles. Stylized arms and hands in pink and blue reach inward from the corners, creating a sense of unity and protection. The background includes colors of the transgender flag, and the text ‘Trans Day of Remembrance’ curves above and below the central image.

🧵👇Today is #TransDayOfRemembrance. This week our Young Persons Club will be honouring our trans+ siblings whose lives were taken by transphobic violence. We’ll be talking about the importance of remembrance, creating a chalk vigil on the Mosaic wall, and making paper flowers.
