Happy International Women’s Day! I decided to draw Beatrix Potter as a way to celebrate both this holiday and my plant zine Kickstarter’s fifth day, because as you may not know, Beatrix Potter was also an extremely talented scientific illustrator. Her theories about how mushrooms reproduce are an example of something that could have gone a lot farther if she was not dismissed and discouraged based on her sex. If she had been fully trained and encouraged to share her wisdom, and had been able to engage in discussion as a part of the scientific community, imagine how much more she could have discovered for us about the mysterious world of mushrooms. We are lucky to be able to look at her beautiful scientific illustrations today, in addition to her truly amazing body of work for children’s books and illustration. Looking back at her detailed portraits of animals, it’s clear what a dedicated naturalist she was, and her children’s books have spread the love of nature far and wide. I hope we can continue to make education and equal respect a given for women all over the world, so that they might be our next future scientists. #internationalwomensday #illustration #beatrixpotter #visiblewomen #womenwhodraw #womenscientists #mushrooms #mycology #drawing #instaart #portrait #watercolorillustration #illustragram https://www.instagram.com/p/BuxAXt9ntpE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c2c7vzcms8q3

We are so proud of Lita. She made her own working speaker out of a first aid kit. She worked hard but didn't place at the school science fair. We feel she should've at least placed since she made it by hand and it works while one if the winners borrowed her project from the power company. I just hope Lita stays interested in science and learning like her brother. We need more women in science. #girlsrule #womenscientists

International Women’s Day! Celebrating Dr. Nancy Grace Roman. • This is a #repost from @qotdct via @PhotoAroundApp Besides her two-decade-plus career @NASA, Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, who passed away at age 93 this past Christmas, had also worked @theYerkesObservatory @UChicago and the Naval Research Laboratory [@USNRL]. Later on she spoke out regularly as an advocate for women in the sciences, as she'd often had to tune out discouraging remarks and stereotypical thinking early in her career. Her work during her last years with NASA helped pave the way for the @NASAHubble telescope - and in addition to the many awards she'd received, she was commemorated in toy form in 2017, as part of @LEGO's "Women Of NASA" set! #WomenInScience #WomenScientists #InternationalWomensDay #Heroes #NancyGraceRoman https://www.instagram.com/p/CMJv4DllNIe/?igshid=uvp01hrngkyx
