New post alert!✨ Did you know #fireworks are a really old technology and have been dazzling crowds for thousands of years?? Read now about alchemy, early #chemistry, and how humans figured out ways to put all those beautiful colors in the sky! 🎆 wowstem.org/post/ancient-c…

Awesome video by Caroline Martin @wowSTEM. It's about Dr. Rachel Lloyd & her scientific impact. Lloyd was the 1st American woman to earn a PhD in #chemistry and became a chemprof at #UNLincoln in 1887. Dr. Rachel Lloyd: The Science of Sugar youtu.be/1vk6YEb-U_Q

I love this new portrait of Dr. Rachel Lloyd painted by Sachi Weerasooriya Sachi Weerasooriya for A World of Women in STEM. Thank you Sachi! It's part of the new blog about Lloyd's role in developing the US sugar industry. Check out the DIY experiments at the end of the blog. wowstem.org/post/rachel-ll…

WOW, we’re turning 1!! It’s been a great year and we can’t wait for everything that’s coming next. If you’re loving what we do, you can send us a #birthday present: ko-fi.com/wowstem 🥳 #womeninstem #scicomm #happybirthday

Please check out our latest lesson! For grades 8+, students learn to think like chemical engineers as they delve into dye technologies that let us express ourselves through fashion.

#AstraFemina is collaborating with A World of Women in STEM -- World of #WomeninSTEM -- to do a series of videos of #STEM folks in many fields. I loved being together with these great ladies filming. And I love the name of this conference room!

We loved getting to meet you and chat about your time in space! Can't wait to share this project soon. 💫
