Girls who get involved in STEM early stick with it. Congrats to Girls Who Code. Lost Women of Science loves these stories. It’s why we do what we do: rescue forgotten female scientists from the jaws of obscurity so they can inspire the next generation of female scientists.

As we celebrate our nation's independence, we also reflect on the incredible women who made significant contributions during the American Revolution. Their stories remind us of the powerful impact women have had in shaping history. LWoS wishes everyone a fun and safe holiday!

Happy Birthday, Mildred Cohn! A biochemist who pioneered the use of nuclear magnetic resonance for studying enzyme reactions, she would be 111 today. Famous for saying: "I didn't intend to be an assistant for the rest of my life; so I started a new field of research." ❤️Penn

Today mark's Eunice Newton Foote's 205th birthday! In 1856, decades before the term “greenhouse gas” was coined, Eunice demonstrated the greenhouse effect in her home laboratory. Despite her demonstration, her story was lost to history. Listen here: buff.ly/467iSUl
