"Women’s contributions to science are systematically undervalued until an external stamp of approval counteracts the negative effect of gender stereotypes on how their work is perceived."
Perfectly summarizes why we need more awards for women

Today I am giving a colloquium at the University of Minnesota on the history of women in physics and astronomy in Minnesota. If you are local it is open to the public. If you are a female alumna or physicist in the state and want to be interviewed or know more reach out! #UMN #WomeninPhysics

This is disappointing. The APS merged all of the regional Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP) into one conference in Colorado for 2026. This will make attendance for undergraduates a lot more expensive in terms of both money and time. ⚛️ 🎢 👩‍🔬 #WomenInPhysics

Another of my favorite #WomenInPhysics is Donna Strickland, a Canadian who was the third woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics for her work on high intensity laser pulses. ⚛️ 🎢 🧪 👩‍🔬 🇨🇦

Physics laureate Donna Strickland thinks lasers are cool. With enthusiasm for the field and “very, very hard” work, she found a way to create high-intensity laser pulses. This technique, chirped pulse...

A Tribute to Women in Physics
Today I would like to celebrate some women in physics in honour of the birthday of Mari Curie (1867-1934) and Lise Meitner (1878-1968), two historic women who helped pioneer nuclear physics and sho…

Happy #WomenInPhysics Day! Marie Curie won TWO Nobel prizes, one in physics (1903) and the other in chemistry (1911). She was the first person to ever achieve this feat in addition to being the first woman to win a Nobel prize. 🐐

Dear Physicists and Physics fans,

I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th.

Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩‍🔬
WOMEN IN PHYSICS DAY! In honor of the pioneering women in physics who broke down barriers to do what they love, we celebrate Women in Physics Day on November 7th, the birthdate of both Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. Marie Skrodowska-Curie (1867-1934) Radioactivity pioneer, two-time Nobel laureate A giant of science, Marie Sktodowska-Curie conducted pioneering research on radioactivity, a term she coined. She discovered two elements, founded two medical research centres, won two Nobels, and invented mobile X-ray units (dubbed petites Curies), saving countless lives in World War Lise Meitner (1878-1968) Nuclear physicist When Lise Meitner was a teen, Austria restricted female higher education. She pursued physics anyway, and 25 years later became the first woman in Germany to hold a professorship in physics. She helped discover nuclear fission, but was contentiously not awarded the 1944 Nobel alongside collaborator Otto Hahn. NOVEMBER 7TH

In honor of the upcoming #WomenInPhysics Day, let's create a thread of amazing women physicists. I'll start with one my favorites, Chien-Shiung Wu, who is best known for conducting the Wu experiment, which proved that parity is not conserved. ⚛️ 🧪 👩‍🔬 🎢

How about #WomenInPhysics? I like to see them separated out so the physicists don't get lost amongst all of the other types of scientist.

Chien-Shiung Wu (1912-1997) "The First Lady of Physics" In her long career, Chien-Shiung Wu disproved a "law" of nature (conservation of parity), worked on the Manhattan Project, became the first female instructor in Princeton's physics department, and earned a reputation as the leading experimental physicist of her time.

Cheyanne Monk presents a background reduction in the DEAP-3600 detector at Women+ in Physics Canada!
We’re now over halfway filled, and the data looks excellent - great news for future experiments like DarkSide-20k & ARGO.
