The first all-female team to share a Nobel Prize in science: biochemists Jennifer Doudna & Emmanuelle Charpentier. They won the 2020 #Nobel Prize in #Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing (CRISPR-Cas9)." Jennifer Doudna was born #OTD in 1964. #WomenInSTEM
Color photograph of Jennifer Doudna, the Nobel Prize-winning biochemist (2020 Chemistry Nobel, shared with Emmanuelle Charpentier for co-inventing CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology). She's a professor at UC Berkeley, a pioneer in molecular biology, and one of the most influential scientists alive today. The portrait captures her in a more recent, casual style: shoulder-length silver-gray hair, bright blue eyes, warm smile, wearing small pearl earrings and a textured maroon/reddish-brown zip-up jacket over a lighter top, set against a plain light gray background.

#OTD in 1903, Marie Curie became the first woman to win a #Nobel Prize (#Physics). AND #OTD in 1935, her daughter Irene Joliot-Curie won the Nobel Prize in #Chemistry for the discovery of artificial radioactivity. They're the only mother–daughter pair to have both won Nobel Prizes. #WomenInSTEM
Black-and-white photograph of Marie Curie in her Paris laboratory. She stands in a long dark dress with a high collar, carefully holding a glass round-bottom flask, surrounded by early 20th-century scientific equipment including a large glass carboy on the bench behind her. The two-time Nobel laureate is captured mid-experiment, focused and composed.

Marie Curie’s daughter and 1935 Nobel Chemistry co-winner stands at a workbench lined with beakers, test tubes, and glassware, her expression serious and concentrated amid the tools of radioactivity research.

Physician/biochemist Dr. Greta Hammarsten (b. #OTD in 1896) helped establish the field of clinical #chemistry as a modern medical discipline in Scandinavia. She was the driving force behind practical, reliable laboratory methods that improved patient diagnosis. #WomenInSTEM #WHM #ChemSky 🧪
Black-and-white photograph of Swedish physician and biochemist Dr. Greta Hammarsten seated at an office desk. Her right hand rests near her cheek and the other lies on the top of the desk. She smiles gently toward the viewer, and has short, dark, wavy hair. She wears a dark patterned jacket over a light blouse. Papers and a pen are visible on the desk in front of her, with a large multi-paned window in the background. The image is captioned “GRETA HAMMARSTEN” at the bottom.

British chemist Dr. Dorothy Hodgkin won the 1964 #Nobel Prize in #Chemistry for using X-ray crystallography to "see" the 3D structures of complex molecules. After 35 years of work, she solved the incredibly complex structure of insulin, 1969. She died #OTD in 1994. #WomenInSTEM
This grainy, high-contrast black-and-white portrait captures British chemist Dorothy Hodgkin (1910–1994). The composition is a medium close-up, focusing on her head and shoulders against a dark, underexposed background that suggests a quiet interior or office setting. She is positioned slightly off-center, turned toward the left of the frame. Hodgkin wears a dark, heavy coat with a prominent collar and a subtly patterned blouse or scarf underneath. Her gray hair is pulled back, softening her features and highlighting her thoughtful, serene expression. She gazes off-camera with a faint, knowing smile and clear, intelligent eyes, projecting a mood of gentle wisdom and quiet persistence. The lighting is soft, illuminating one side of her face while the other recedes into shadow, emphasizing the texture of her skin and the gravity of her experience. This image carries deep historical weight, representing the only British woman scientist to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1964). It celebrates the pioneer who used X-ray crystallography to map the 3D structures of penicillin, vitamin B12, and insulin, revolutionizing modern medicine.

Biochemist Marie M. Daly (b. #OTD in 1921) was the first Black woman to earn a Ph.D. in #chemistry in the US (Columbia 1947). Overcoming the dual hurdles of racial & gender bias, her pioneering studies included cholesterol’s role in heart disease, protein synthesis, and nucleic acids. #WomenInSTEM
This black-and-white photograph captures Marie Maynard Daly (1921–2003), the trailblazing American biochemist who became the first Black woman to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry in the United States (Columbia University, 1947), at work in her laboratory. Centered in the frame, Daly leans slightly forward with quiet intensity, her gaze directed downward in deep concentration at the scientific glassware she holds with practiced precision: a slender glass pipette in her right hand and a small test tube or vial in her left, as if carefully transferring a liquid during an experiment. She wears a crisp white lab coat unbuttoned at the front, revealing a dark dress or skirt beneath and a boldly contrasting scarf tied neatly at her neck; her short, wavy dark hair is neatly styled, and a pen peeks from her coat pocket. The mid-20th-century laboratory setting envelops her with authentic period detail—white tiled walls, wooden cabinets with glass doors stacked high with books and papers, a cluttered wooden desk, a tall stool, a visible refrigerator, scattered beakers and equipment on the bench, and even a fire extinguisher mounted on the wall—creating a sense of purposeful, hands-on scientific discovery. The composition places Daly as the clear focal point, her figure framed by the ordered chaos of research tools and notes, conveying a mood of focused dedication, intellectual rigor, and quiet empowerment. This historic image endures as a powerful symbol of Daly’s groundbreaking legacy: her pioneering studies on cholesterol’s role in heart disease, protein synthesis, and nucleic acids helped shape modern biochemistry, while her lifelong advocacy opened doors for women and people of color in STEM fields.

(1/6) When we think about microscopic objects likes cells or viruses, we often forget how close they are to atomic scales. This is a model of the virus responsible for COVID-19 where the individual atoms of the virus are represented by colored spheres. #Science #Chemistry #Biology #Virology 🧪
