You can't celebrate #InternationalWomensDay without honoring ALL WOMEN
Gay women
Trans women
Disabled women
Women of Color
Old women
Homeless women
Childless women
Sex Workers
SA/DV Victims
Women who've had abortions
Women who haven't
You're all beautiful, you're all seen, you're all celebrated.
Happy International Womenβs Day πΈ
We celebrate the strength, independence, and resilience of women everywhere.To the women building their own paths, supporting each other, and showing up every day with courage and determination.
You deserve respect, safety,and the freedom to choose your own journey.

Indeed. It's not a gift many people possess.
Hail Lilith! It's International Women's Day!
Honor thyself, these and other Goddesses today (and every day!!)
Dorothy Parker
Marsha P. Johnson

...and your mom. She's pretty cool too.
Spit it in their face with fire.....
A striking digital composite celebrating Ada Lovelace, the world's first computer programmer. On the left is a vibrant, colorized restoration of her iconic 1838 portrait, showing her in a deep purple velvet gown with white lace accents and an elegant headdress. She gazes with sharp, visionary intelligence toward the right of the frame. Occupying the right side of the image is the intricate mechanical hardware of the Analytical Engine trial model - a complex assembly of vertical brass rods, interlocking gears, and polished metal dials. Floating subtly over the mechanical parts is a translucent overlay of her handwritten 1843 Bernoulli algorithm (Note G), showing the logical mathematical table that served as the world's first software. The composite beautifully illustrates the transition from 19th-century mechanical engineering to the birth of modern computing, representing Adaβs unique philosophy of "Poetical Science." The lighting unifies the historical portrait and the brass machinery into a single, cohesive moment of discovery. Credit: Seriously Scientific.
Remembering Ada Lovelace on International Women's Day!
A century before computers, she saw that machines could do more than just math.
By writing the first algorithm for the Analytical Engine, she became the worldβs first programmer and predicted the digital age we live in today!π»

Yo, fuck that dude. (whatever his name is, but WHO CARES)
HOORAY FOR ALICE
African American chemist Alice Ball in her laboratory around 1915. She is wearing a white lab coat and a patterned blue scarf, holding a glass test tube and using a pipette to precisely transfer a liquid from a small vial. This scene represents her development of the "Ball Method," where she transformed thick Chaulmoogra tree oil into a soluble, injectable treatment for leprosy. The dark wooden laboratory bench is filled with period-accurate glassware, glass stir rods, and amber-colored bottles containing the raw oil. In the background, a metal centrifuge and laboratory cabinetry are visible. The image captures the specific moment Alice created the medical breakthrough that saved thousands from forced exile. Digital restoration and colorization by Seriously Scientific.
Remembering Alice Ball on International Women's Day!
At just 24, this brilliant chemist developed the first effective treatment for leprosy.
Her 'Ball Method' made Chaulmoogra oil injectable, saving thousands of people from lifelong isolation and exile. π§ͺπ

On International Women's Day, we have published an Infographic that celebrates a decade of practice-changing research in women's health and looks forward to a new era of dedicated advocacy.

I love her. As rheumatology and neurology fan... She's pretty awesome.
Despite battling severe rheumatoid arthritis since age 24, Dorothy became the only British woman to win a solo Nobel Prize in science.
She later mapped Vitamin B12 and Insulin, proving that she didn't just find medicine - she showed us exactly how it was built. ποΈπ§ͺ

British chemist Dorothy Hodgkin in her laboratory in 1964. She is sitting at a wooden desk, wearing a blue cardigan and green skirt, resting her chin on her hand as she looks thoughtfully toward the camera. On the desk beside her sits a black and gold microscope and a glass display case containing a large, complex crystal structure model. To her left, bookshelves are packed with scientific texts, including a prominent red spine titled "Penicillin Crystal Structures." This image captures the Nobel Prize winner in the environment where she produced the worldβs first 3D atomic maps of essential medicines like penicillin and insulin. The scene highlights her intense intellectual focus and the physical tools of her pioneering work in X-ray crystallography. Digital restoration and colorization by Seriously Scientific.
Remembering Dorothy Hodgkin on International Women's Day!
While Fleming found the mold, Hodgkin solved the 3D atomic puzzle of Penicillin.
Using X-ray crystallography, she mapped the molecule's structure, allowing it to be mass-produced and saving millions of lives! π¬πΊοΈ

I've been trying to say that to people for years...
A highly detailed, digitally colorized archival photograph of the pioneering experimental physicist Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu. She is positioned in the center of a complex mid-20th-century physics laboratory. Dr. Wu is smiling warmly and looking directly into the camera with an expression of calm, approachable brilliance. She has neatly styled dark hair and is wearing a crisp white laboratory coat over a dark, high-collared shirt. The digital colorization process brings realistic, warm skin tones and vibrant depth to the historic scene. Surrounding her is a spectacularly intricate maze of scientific equipment used for her groundbreaking parity violation experiments. The apparatus includes gleaming silver metal cylinders, delicate glass vacuum tubes, thick electrical wiring, large magnetic coils, and heavy steel framing. The lifelike color highlights the contrast between her confident posture and the massive technical complexity of the supercooled machinery she mastered to rewrite the laws of physics. At the bottom, a credit line reads: Original photograph by the Smithsonian Institution Archives, digital colorization by Seriously Scientific.
Remembering Chien Shiung Wu on International Women's Day!
Physicists thought the universe was perfectly symmetrical. By freezing radioactive atoms near absolute zero, Wu proved them wrong!
She found nature is actually "left-handed," fundamentally shattering the Law of Parity! π§²βοΈ

A digitally restored, archival composite image celebrating Rosalind Franklin. On the left is a black and white portrait of the British chemist and X-ray crystallographer. She has dark, softly curled hair and is wearing a dark, tailored dress, looking thoughtfully off-camera with a focused expression. On the right side is a clear, highly enhanced reproduction of 'Photograph 51'. This is her famous X-ray diffraction image of crystallized DNA fibers. The scientific image features a dark circular background with a distinct, striking arrangement of fuzzy black spots forming a perfect 'X' shape converging in the center. The heavy dark smudges at the very top and bottom of the circle indicate the repeating bases of the genetic code. The specific angle of the 'X' physically proves the double-helix structure of the DNA molecule. At the bottom, a professional credit line reads: King's College London and Seriously Scientific.
Remembering Rosalind Franklin on International Women's Day!
Without her mastery of X-ray crystallography and the iconic 'Photo 51', discovering the DNA double helix would have been impossible.
She measured the secret of life. Her exact math made gene editing possible! π¬π§¬

A highly detailed, digitally colorized close-up portrait of the pioneering physicist and chemist Marie Curie. She is looking directly into the camera lens with an incredibly intense, intelligent, and focused expression. The fingers of her left hand are gently resting against her cheek and neck. She has curly, textured brown hair pulled back loosely. She is wearing a dark blue, utilitarian dress with fine vertical pleats on the shoulder. The warm, realistic skin tones and soft lighting of the colorization process give this historic archival photo a highly modern, lifelike feel. Original archival photograph by Henri Manuel. Digital colorization by Seriously Scientific.
Remembering Marie Curie on International Women's Day!
Marie spent years working in a dank, leaky shed boiling down tons of toxic pitchblende to extract a 0.1 grams of pure radium.
She physically proved that atoms break apart, laying the exact foundation for cancer treatments! β’οΈπ¬
