This International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we recognize the role women and girls play in ground-breaking scientific results and the barriers to their participation at all levels in STEM disciplines in 🇨🇦 and around the 🌎. #WomenInSTEM More➡️un.org/en/observances…

To celebrate the #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience we asked the #WomenInStem at Natural Resources for their favourite STEM-inspired movies, podcasts, books & more: ow.ly/BZwG50HSSNQ #SimplyScience #IDWGS

Growing up, Ellen Whitman never thought she “fit” the role of scientist. But her interests in art, science and exploring natural environments led her to become a research scientist for the Canadian Forest Service. #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience

What can a sea cliff tell us about life in outer space? Our scientist Steve Grasby and his colleagues recently found that the Smoking Hills sea cliff contains geological formations eerily similar to the ones on Mars! Learn more: ow.ly/pYiK50J1qsW #SimplyScience

"The presence of jarosite, like that studied by Canadian researchers, adds to an "exciting" scientific area of study that is searching for explanations to martian [life]."

It’s burning hot in freezing temperatures and the air is toxic: Earth may have more in common with Mars than previously considered. Listen to Simply Science hosts Barb and Joel discuss #TheSmokingHills more on this new #podcast episode 👇
