I'm always surprised when #WomensHistoryMonth rolls around again. A year older! Throwback to a project I did some years ago on the fabulous women of #STEM past and present.

Even rovers Dream! It was so great to meet the @NASA VIPER at The Waking World during @SiliConSJ Don’t worry VIPER, I’ll make sure you’ll sleep well and have sweet moon dreams before your launch! 🚀🌕✨ #MoonRoverAndMe #Science #STEM #TheSandman #cosplay #siliconSJ
I lost the PSD to the T. rex I did last summer, so I decided to redo it while fixing some mistakes. #trex #tyrannosaurus #tyrannosaurusrex #tyrannosaurusregina #tyrannosaurusimperator #dinosaurs #paleoart #stem #kidlitart #lunchbreakdoodles #artlicensing #cretaceous #hellcreek

As we celebrate #IEW2021, we are happy to share information about another exciting exchange opportunity open to🇲🇪 girls, ages 15-17, who are interested in #STEM! Learn more techgirlsglobal.org & APPLY techgirlsglobal.org/instructions/ #USScholarshipMNE #girltechleaders #technofanart
#inktober2021 Day 31: The #risk of being a larva Parasitoid #wasps attack and lay eggs inside of #fruitfly larvae. The poor larvae can only defend themselves by twisting and turning. (1/5) #scicomm #sciart #biology #stem #flyroom #modelrganism #postdoclife #Genetics #research
#inktober2021 Day 29: A special #patch. When there is a #mutation within a #cell, are other neighbor cells also affected? To answer this, researchers use "mosaic" flies. (1/4) #molecularbiology #developmentalbiology #fruitfly #sciart #scicomm #STEM #postdoclife #phdlife #GMO
#inktober2021 Day 28: #crispy flies The latest technique to modify the #genome of flies is called #CRISPR. It allows to target exact sites in the genome and insert custom-made modifications. (1/4) #scicomm #sciart #Drosophila #stem #molecularbiology #genomeediting #GMO
#inktober2021 Day 25: If you #splat it, they will come. Though #fruitflies have their individual lives, they are social #insects and benefit from being together. So, they gather to eat, mate and lay eggs. (1/3) #scicomm #sciart #stem #chemicalecology #nature #biology #flyroom
#inktober2021 Day 24: #Extinct Old, old flies. There are more than 1600 species in the #Drosophila genus. They live in diverse climates, behave differently and eat a variety of foods: from tree sap to fungi, from rotten fruit to flower petals. (1/3) #scicomm #sciart #STEM
#inktober2021 Day 23: #leak. A blue feeling😨🎂. We all age. Humans, flies... is inevitable. But, can we delay it? Or at least make it easier to endure? Can we do something!? (1/4) #scicomm #sciart #stem #physiology #postdoclife #AcademicTwitter #Drosophila #stem #Biology
Harvesting ink caps for #Inktober, investigating mistletoe and finding #Wildflowers for #Wildflowerhour. #STEM #Outdoorlearning #Learningoutdoors
#inktober2021 Day 18: Fly me to the #moon #Drosophila flies were the first non-human animals to see earth from #space. In the 1940s intrepid flies launched from New Mexico in the US, on V2 rockets previously owned by Germany. (1/3) #scicomm #sciart #biology #STEM #astronaut
#inktober2021 Day 17: Head-to-head #collision. How do fruitfly #larvae navigate their #environment? Larvae crawl forward, and at moments stop, bend their "head" to a side and change direction, or do a sweeping motion and go to the other side. (1/3) #scicomm #sciart #stem
#inktober2021 Day 13: A #roof to grow under How do #Drosophila flies help us understand #development? During development cells have to produce other cells, they have to move, change shape, and commit to new functions. (1/4) #scicomm #sciart #stem #biology
#inktober2021 Day 7: #fan It is a hot summer night! The fan-shaped body in the #drosophila #brain is a central structure that controls #sleep. This part of the brain receives the information on how badly the fly needs to sleep and sends signals to induce sleep #scicomm #stem
#inktober2021 Día 4: #knot El #gen knot (nudo) de #Drosophila es importante para la formación de las venas centrales del ala. El #mutante del gen tiene las venas centrales del #ala hechas un nudo (1/2) #STEM #scicomm #sciart #AcademicChatter
#inktober2021 Day 4: #Knot The #gene Knot in #Drosophila is involved in the formation of the central veins of the #wing. In the #mutant , the central veins of the wing appeared to be tangled up in a knot (1/2) #STEM #nature #research #scicomm #sciart #Biology #AcademicChatter
#inktober2021 Day3:#Vessel A #trachea or a blood vessel? #Drosophila flies are used as a model to study the #development of #blood vessels. But how?👇 (1/3) #breathing #stem #science #biology #research #sciart #scicomm #nature
#inktober2021 Day1 #Crystal When a #fly larvae gets hurt (e.g. when falling from their little #bike), Crystal cells travel to the #wound and help to plug it and form a scab. They get their name from the tiny dark crystals inside them. #woundhealing #drosophila #research #STEM
