#scientists – @thesunflowersqueen on Tumblr

Okay, I was just going to reblog this without commentary, but I can't keep this to myself. I'm a PhD student in environmental science and this is my fucking highway.

The first published study about climate change (that I am aware of-- feel free to point out if there's an older one) is an 1896 paper by Svante Arrhenius. He pointed out the link between the greenhouse effect and changes in atmospheric CO2.

Plate tectonics, which the geoscience community now recognizes as near indisputable, was a fringe theory until about the 1960s.

Just in case anyone thought that climate change was a "recent fad" in research.

Some men just want to watch the world learn.

They’re like the Avengers of learning.

“I have an army.”

“We have Bob Ross.”

“That’s my secret, Mr. Rogers. There’s always a little bush.”

“His first name is ‘Mister’”

“I’ve got science in my ledger”

How many women can you guess? Do you remember/know what each one of them did/discovered?

Once you make your guess, head over to All Science, All the Time to see if you were right:http://ow.ly/pXjrG

Oh wow, that’s AN AWESOME LIST OF WHITE WOMEN SCIENTISTS! But how could you forget:

Asima Chatterjee: The awesome Indian woman who help discover drugs we use to treat cancer, malaria, and epilepsy! OR Chien-Shiung Wu: THE FIRST LADY OF PHYSICS?! OR WHADDABOUT Ellen Ochoa: The first Latina in SPACE! AND the First Latina Director of the Johnson Space Center. Oo, and don’t forget!! Flossie Wong-Staal: The woman that successfully map HIV and pave the way to prove that HIV causes AIDS. GURL! Mae Jemison: First Black woman IN SPACE!!! And worked the first flight into space after the Challenger Accident. But don’t stop! Patricia Bath: The First Black woman doctor awarded a patent for a medical device: a laser that removes cataracts! (Fancy that!) AND THE BOSSEST! Shirley Ann Jackson: The first Black woman to earn a PhD from MIT in nuclear physics.

Hot damn! Women of Color in Science!!!

One half of the humans are female, so one half of the scientists should be female.

- Bill Nye at the Storytelling of Science at ASU

Yes, exactly. We need more girls going into science! Now there aren’t many Nobel Prizes being given to women, mostly because society pushed them away from science decades ago. But now that can all be changed, if more girls go into science.

dawkins i will slap that motherfucking look off your face

Preach, Bill Nye. I miss @BillNyeTho. It was my favorite Twitter.
