Today is the #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience 👩‍🔬 This graphic highlights women of the periodic table, the elements they discovered, and the two elements named after women.

Plenty more graphics on women in chemistry here: www.compoundchem.com/category/wom...

This infographic titled "The Women of the Periodic Table" highlights ten women and their contributions to element discovery. A central periodic table marks specific elements in green and orange, with lines connecting them to names and portraits. Featured scientists include Marie Curie (polonium, radium), Marguerite Perey (francium), and Clarice Phelps (tennessine). It traces history from early pioneers like Harriet Brooks to modern teams including Dawn Shaughnessy and Darleane Hoffman.

This infographic explains the physics and chemistry of aurora phenomena. The first column shows how collisions between charged particles from the sun and molecules in Earth’s atmosphere cause the emission of light. The second column explains where people can see auroras, depending on solar activity. The third column explains the cause of the different colors seen in the auroras and how they depend on the altitude of the particle collisions.
