"For many years I pitched science shows to large science networks and was unsuccessful. I would receive the feedback that 'the majority of our audience is male, so we just don't know if they'd relate to a female host.' But last year, Netflix picked up our science show, Emily's Wonder Lab. I filmed the entire thing 9 months pregnant. So there is now a female-led science show on the biggest streaming platform in the world hosted by a pregnant woman - available world wide.

I'm just...so incredibly proud that my daughter will be able to watch this someday. When I was studying to become an engineer, I was one of 2 or 3 women in classrooms of 50 men. I'm hoping shows like this help change that demographic for her generation." -- Emily Calandrelli

Congratulations to Emily on her new Netflix show, Emily's Wonder Lab!

Happy birthday to Marie Skłodowska Curie, born on this day in 1867. During her career she discovered radium and polonium and was the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize. She remains the only person to receive a Nobel Prize in two different sciences.
