Morning folks! Today on the calendar it's Aglaonice, who used her skill of predicting lunar eclipses to pretend she was bewitching the moon from the sky! #womeninSTEM https://findingada.com/blog/2018/12/08/women-in-stem-advent-calendar-day-8-aglaonice/

She also wrote one of the earliest descriptions of the female orgasm, despite being a nun.

I probably should have added #womeninSTEM 🙂 Please boost, it's always such a fun day!

Have you heard about Ada Lovelace Day? It's an international day of celebration of women in STEM, held on 9 October. There is a live show in London, tickets available from here https://findingada.com/events/ada-lovelace-day-live/ and independent events all over the world https://findingada.com/worldwide-events/

This year is our tenth, and we'd love to make it the biggest one yet. Come along to our live show, attend an event, organise one of your own or write a blog, and help us celebrate all the amazing women in STEM, past and present!

#introduction Hi I'm Stephanie. I'm interested in scicomm, and work for a women in STEM organisation. I've recently finished my psychology degree, and in the process of working out my next steps! Would love to connect with some folk interested in thoughtful discussion on a range of topics. Really pleased already to see the strong commitment to inclusion :-)
