Today, September 21, 2015, St. Andrew High School for Girls celebrates 90 years of providing high quality education to Jamaica’s girls. Today, the newly renovated Lab 4 and the main science block will be reopened and christened the Mary Dawson Science Block. Mary Dawson was St. Andrew’s 3rd principal and was instrumental in expanding science offerings for students throughout her time at St. Andrew. Thank you to Jamaican corporate sponsors like Guardian Life and to the donors to the Lab 4 and science block renovation efforts, including the many donors to the Lab 4 Crowdfunding campaign (which raised USD$31,000), for helping to make the Lab 4 renovation happen and for ensuring that current and future students at St. Andrew have the facilities to learn, discover, and be curious…because girls in science matter!

Receiving the cheque is Science Department Head Franklin Burrell and SAHS Foundation board members Jessica Jones and Dr. Deanna Ashley.

I am currently a Building Surveyor and 3D Laser Scan Tech in Canada. My first love in science was biology. I loved learning about the workings of the heart and the mechanisms of a plant. Then there was Chemistry, where Mr. Lawson taught how construct an organic equation and how reactive pure sodium gets in plain air.
My interests took me elsewhere, but science at St Andrew developed my questioning mind.The campaign is important because … these girls are positioned to make breakthroughs and contribute to Jamaica as well as the world; but it begins with the nurturing of the questioning mind and SAHS needs help in creating the right environment for the girls, and help with keeping pace with the evolution in methods and technology in science.

Kadambini Ganguly (1861-1923)
Art by Tess E Petersen (website,tumblr)
One of the first South Asian women to complete a university degree, Kadambini was the second South Asian female physician, graduating the same year as Anandi Gopal Joshi.
Kadambini caught the notice of Florence Nightingale who wrote to a friend:
In addition to her work as a physician, Kadambini worked to further the rights of women and the working classes with her politician husband Dwarkanath Ganguly.
Strong accomplished women like Ganguly are in whose footsteps young girls like those at St. Andrew will walk. Truly inspirational.

Science Reporter Emily Graslie Reads Her Mail — And It’s Not So Nice
Sometimes women scientists face hostility. After all, how dare they be involved in SCIENCE? But being well trained and supported is an excellent way to build the confidence and skill to withstand hostility like the kind experienced by Emilie
Support the Because Girls in Science Matter Campaign to invest in girls’ science education, beginning to ensure that young scientists have the opportunity to develop their skills and confidence: http://www.razoo.com/story/St-Andrew-High-Science-Lab-4-Campaign-Because-Girls-In-Science-Matter .

Potentially one of our most adorable posts - how to get girls into science ;)
Recently, the folks at #QEDCon got a chance to ask scientists questions, through the kind offices of Robin Ince's Cosmic Genome. One intrepid soul asked our brennawalks how a little girl can get into science… lucky we are SO READY with an answer for that one.
And we know you guys could probably come up with a million more!
It has been an amazing few months for TrowelBlazers as we’ve watched our little Lottie come out of the box and set off on new adventures. First, a big heartfelt thanks to our TB supporters - this would never be possible without the dedication, commitment, and unstoppable punnage you bring to this project. Keep the submissions coming! And of course well done to the team at Arklu - we love Lottie, and are so proud to have been part of her creation. The whole point of Lottie, and the whole point of TrowelBlazers really, is to get the message out that anyone can be a scientist of the trowel-wielding variety; whether you are 8 years old or 80. So we are super super excited to announce that the winner of our #RealFossilHunter Lottie competition is absolutely 100% taking up the challenge to dream big, explore, and dig in ;) Congratulations to Hallie K. and Lottie’s new playmate Edith!! Keep resetting imaginations!
