Lehmann's groundbreaking paper titled simply 𝘗' (P-prime) was published in Sept 1936.
Her discovery was based on painstakingly manual calculations of seismic data from a 1929 earthquake in New Zealand. She famously organized the data using cardboard index cards stored in oatmeal boxes. #WomenInSTEM
A vintage sepia-toned portrait photograph of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann taken in 1932, at around age 44. She is posed formally against a softly draped curtain backdrop, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. She has short, neatly waved dark hair and wears a simple, elegant dark blouse or dress with a light-colored V-neck insert or scarf tied loosely. The image captures her poised and thoughtful demeanor during the early years of her groundbreaking career in seismology, before her landmark discovery of Earth's solid inner core in 1936. #seismology #WomensHistoryMonth
Educational diagram in exploded view showing the internal layers of the Earth. From left to right: a cutaway globe with blue surface and white continents labeled “CRUST,” followed by the thick brown mantle labeled “MANTLE,” the red outer core labeled “OUTER CORE,” and the small yellow inner core labeled “INNER CORE.” A complete blue globe with continents appears on the right for scale. All layers are separated horizontally to reveal the structure.
#OTD in 1936, Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann wrote a famous letter to a colleague outlining her theory that seismic waves (P-waves) recorded from distant earthquakes indicated Earth had a solid inner core.
Her discovery fundamentally changed our understanding of the Earth's interior. #WomenInSTEM
Marie Tharp was an American geologist and oceanographic cartographer.
Tharp worked with Bruce Heezen on mapping the ocean floor, drawing maps from data that Heezen collected, as women were barred from working on ships at that time.
In 1977, they published the first complete world map of the ocean floors. That work helped to prove the theory of plate tectonics, a controversial idea at that time.
Tharp was recognized in 1997 by the Library of Congress as one of the four greatest cartographers of the 20th century.

Before #WomensHistoryMonth concludes at the end of March, I shall share my favorite #WomenInSTEM joke:
Q: What did Watson & Crick discover?
A: Rosalind Franklin's notes.
If you don't get why that joke is both smart and hilarious, learn about Rosalind Franklin this weekend. 🔬🧪⚗️🩻

March is Women’s History Month. All month we are celebrating women who contributed to the advancement of science and the next generation of women in STEM. Visit https://awis.org/historical-women-scientists/ to read about pioneering women in science and tell us who to add to our list. #WomenInSTEM
Black-and-white close-up portrait photograph of Yvonne Barr, the Australian-born virologist who co-discovered the Epstein-Barr virus in 1964. She is shown from the shoulders up against a brick wall background, wearing a short-sleeved polka-dot dress and dangling earrings, with short dark hair. She is turned slightly to her right, gazing off-camera with her mouth parted as if in mid-conversation.
#OTD in 1964, Yvonne Barr co-discovered the Epstein-Barr virus, the first known 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 tumor virus.
She cultured the cell lines that allowed the virus be seen. Proving viruses cause human cancer is "one of the 20th century's most significant scientific discoveries."

#TalDíaComoHoy en 1895, nace Ángela Ruiz Robles. Esta leonesa inventó la primera propuesta de enciclopedia mecánica, precursora del libro digital.
Emociona verla explicando su invento en este vídeo de la FECYT , aunque tuviera que abandonarlo por falta de financiación.
