Dr. Dana Ulery was born #OTD in 1938. In 1961, Ulery became the first woman engineer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, where she designed automation real-time tracking systems for the Ranger & Mariner space missions. #WomenInSTEM #computerscience
Portrait photograph of Dana Ulery, a pioneering American computer scientist and the first female engineer hired at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The black-and-white image shows a middle-aged woman with shoulder-length, voluminous wavy hair styled with soft curls framing her face, wearing pearl earrings, a white collared shirt, and a dark jacket. She is smiling warmly at the camera against a plain, light-colored studio background.

#NASA computer scientist, mathematician, and rocket scientist Annie Easley developed code for the Centaur rocket stage, used to launch the Cassini probe. Her energy research laid foundations for hybrid vehicle batteries and solar/wind power. She died #OTD in 2011. #WomenInSTEM #computerscience
This historical photograph features Annie Jean Easley (1933–2011), a trailblazing NASA computer scientist and mathematician whose work on the Centaur rocket stage was pivotal to space exploration. Easley is shown in a medium shot, standing confidently in a NASA control room. She is dressed in a professional, pale peach-colored suit with a high-neck blouse and a matching scarf detail, accessorized with classic gold hoop earrings. Her expression is focused and resolute as she looks slightly past the camera, holding a wooden clipboard and pen as if in the middle of a technical evaluation.

The background is dominated by a massive, complex schematic control board filled with red lines, indicator lights, and technical labels. A small, yellowish-bordered inset photo on the wall depicts a laboratory setting. The composition places Easley as the central figure of authority within a highly technical environment. The mood is one of serious intellectual pursuit, capturing the dignity of a woman who broke racial and gender barriers to power the future of flight and renewable energy.

Sophie Wilson's influence on modern technology is nearly unparalleled. Wilson, a computer scientist, co-designed the ARM architecture--the microprocessor technology that powers nearly every smartphone+tablet in the world today. She was born #OTD in 1957. #WomenInSTEM #ComputerScience #TechHistory
Sophie Wilson (born 1957), a legendary British computer scientist, stands proudly beside a massive, intricate blueprint of a microprocessor circuit. Wilson is celebrated for co-designing the original ARM architecture, the high-efficiency technology that powers nearly every modern smartphone and tablet. She is shown from the waist up, looking directly at the camera with a confident and knowing smile. Her blonde hair is styled in a sleek, chin-length bob with bangs. She wears a professional grey blazer over a bold leopard-print top, accessorized with a colorful beaded necklace and a silver brooch. Her right hand reaches out to point at a tiny, physical microchip held against the giant schematic, perfectly illustrating the staggering scale of her engineering feat—condensing immense complexity into a microscopic silicon chip. The background is a brightly lit, modern office space with large windows, placing her in the environment where her innovations continue to shape the digital world. The mood is one of quiet triumph, capturing a pioneer whose work fundamentally changed global communication.

#OTD in 1965, Sister Mary Kenneth Keller became the first woman in the US to earn a PhD in #computerscience. Keller, a Catholic nun, believed tech should be used to expand accessibility in education. Founded the #CS dept at ⁠Clarke University & chaired it for 20 years. #WomenInSTEM #WomenInTech
A black-and-white historical photograph of Sister Mary Kenneth Keller (December 17, 1913 – January 10, 1985), an American Catholic religious sister, educator, and foundational pioneer in computer science. Widely celebrated as the first woman in the United States to earn a PhD in computer science in 1965, her work was instrumental in expanding computing education. Sister Keller is positioned on the left side of the frame, angled slightly toward the right with a serene, pleasant expression and a subtle, gentle smile. She wears a traditional mid-20th-century Catholic habit of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, featuring a stark black veil, a crisp white wimple covering her neck, and a prominent, stiff white coif framing her face and rising to a soft point at the crown. In the lower foreground, a console from a Bi-Tran Six educational computer stretches across the width of the image. The aluminum interface plate reads "BI-TRAN SIX" at the top left and features labeled functional text blocks such as "ACCUMULATOR," "EXCHANGE," and "LOGIC ZERO" interspersed with rectangular indicator tracks. Sister Keller’s left arm rests behind the console, with her hand gesturing toward a large vertical circuit board matrix in the background. This rear panel is dense with intricate rows of patch cords, modular dials, switches, and plugboard logic gates typical of mid-century academic mainframe hardware. The scene is set indoors against a plain, light-colored wall that maximizes focus on the subject. Clear, direct lighting accentuates the stark black-and-white tonal contrast of her habit, giving the composition an intellectual and forward-looking tone that symbolizes a historic bridge between traditional faith and the dawn of the digital age.

See this adorable picture of Pikachu? The file size of this regular, degular image is 1.4 megabytes. This image alone is 18x larger than the memory & RAM used in the Apollo Guidance Computer that landed astronauts on the moon (0.078 megabytes). #ComputerScience

At top schools like MIT, men earn #computerscience and #engineering degrees at 1.5x the rate of women. At less selective schools, that ratio jumps to 7.1x, a sorry statistic that has more than doubled since 2002. An #economics professor explores the trend: buff.ly/4jaexWQ 🧪#WomenInScience
Gender balance in computer science and engineering is improving at elite universities but getting worse elsewhere

Gender balance in computer science and engineering is improving at elite universities but getting worse elsewhere

Women in these fields are almost at parity with men at the most selective schools, but the gender gap doubled at many of the least selective universities.
