📚✨ Continue celebrating International Day of Women and Girls in Science with this true story of three remarkable women who risked their lives for research that forever changed the way we think of primates... including ourselves. 💚

Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas were all students of the great Louis Leakey, and each made profound contributions to primatology. Discover the tales of their work in this nonfiction graphic novel.

✨2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science✨

A significant gender gap has persisted throughout the years at all levels of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines all over the world. Even though women have made tremendous progress towards increasing their participation in higher education, they are still under-represented in these fields.

Closing the gender gap in science requires breaking stereotypes, promoting role models to inspire girls, supporting women's advancement through targeted programs, and fostering inclusive environments through policies and actions that promote inclusion, diversity and equity.

Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of increasing relative atomic mass. When he did this he noted that the chemical properties of the elements and their compounds showed a periodic trend. He then arranged the elements by putting those with similar
properties below each other into groups.

Sadly, Mendeleev died in 1907 without a Nobel Prize.

❓Did you know❓
Only 16 scientists have elements named after them, the most recent being Oganesson which was officially named in 2016! Mendeleevium, the element with an atomic number of 101, was officially named in 1963, 56 years after Mendeleev's death.

🏳️‍🌈✨ This , we honour the incredible contributions of LGBTQ+ pioneers like Alan Turing. A brilliant mathematician and codebreaker, Turing played a crucial role in ending WWII by cracking the Enigma code—yet was persecuted for being gay. His legacy lives on in the tech we use today and the fight for equality. 🌈💻 Let’s celebrate his genius and continue advocating for a world where everyone can live authentically. 💜

Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, Richard Feynman was one of the world's greatest theoretical physicists, but he was also a man who fell, often jumped, into adventure. An artist, safecracker, practical joker and storyteller, Feynman's life was a series of combustible combinations made possible by his unique mixture of high intelligence, unquenchable curiosity and eternal scepticism. Over a period of years, Feynman's conversations with his friend Ralph Leighton were first taped and then set down as they appear here, little changed from their spoken form, giving a wise, funny, passionate and totally honest self-portrait of one of the greatest men of our age.

Hello and welcome to the new followers I've gained lately 🫶🏻

My name is Jessica and I tutor KS3 and GCSE sciences online via zoom in groups and 121 classes. I also offer free and paid science resources in my Buy Me A Coffee shop (link in bio) 💚

It's very rare to see a picture of my face on here but it seems silly to share personal factoids without a face to put the information to, so here's a little about me - outside of the world of tutoring 👋🏻
