Let’s just keep talking about Artemis 2 forever. It has so many feel good stories, scientists, music, Pink Floyd pre-wrote the album and it’s time to relisten.
Women shooting rockets into space and executing a perfect mathematical angle on descent were the best parts

Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch: 'Looking back at Earth...it truly emphasized how alike we are' Koch previously spent 328 consecutive days in space.

NASA astronaut Christina Koch just made history as the first woman to fly around the moon. Koch also holds the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman and took part in the first all-female spacewalk.

The role of the Women in Physics working group: International Union of Pure and Applied Physics - International Science Council The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics established the Women in Physics Working Group to gather global data, promote initiatives like the International Conference on Women in Physics, and advance gender equality in physics, while addressing ongoing challenges such as award disparities and harassment reporting.

The @iupaphysicswomen.bsky.social group of #iupap was established to gather global data, promote initiatives like the International Conference on Women in Physics, advance #GenderEquality in #physics, and address ongoing challenges for #WomenInScience.

Ten simple rules for postdoctoral mums to stay competitive in academia In academia, the intersection of the postdoctoral stage, usually highly unstable and decisive to secure a permanent position, and motherhood, is the most prominent culprit of the well-known problem of the decreasing number of female researchers in senior academic positions. The loss of postdoctoral women from the academic path represents an unsustainable loss of talent, leading to unbalanced academic institutions where this phenomenon eventually gets perpetuated. The motherhood challenges for postdoctoral women begin from the moment they plan on getting pregnant and continue well after reincorporation to work after maternity leave. Here, we provide 10 actionable rules for these postdoctoral women approaching motherhood to increase their chances of remaining in the academic career. These rules will help postdoctoral women prepare for the challenge of becoming a mother while working towards their long-term academic goals, and establish a successful relationship with their supervisors and collaborators under the new circumstances. These rules should be complemented by the general effort from colleagues, supervisors, institutions, and academia as a whole, to create a more supportive working environment. It is in the utmost interest of the academic community to improve the retention of postdoctoral mums and promote their progression to more senior positions.

Pamphlets from the University of Rhode Island, Bowdoin, University of St Andrews, and Dickinson against a backdrop of a college fair in an arena

Took my older daughter to her first college fair this week! Was fun to talk to reps at universities where I've visited and given talks on #WomeninScience while the kiddo was exploring on her own. Really hoping higher ed can create a new chapter for itself, one that can help grow all young minds
