Stegosaurus is lunch; a Ceratosaurus (L) and a Marshosaurus ® peek into the frame, ready to settle a dispute over the plant-eater-turned snack.

Valerie L. Thomas is a physicist and inventor, best known for her creation of the illusion transmitter, for which she holds the patent, while working for NASA in the 1970s-80s.
This technology uses two concave mirrors to create 3D optical illusion images, which has been adapted for use in surgery imaging as well as the television and film industry.
During her 30-year career at NASA Valerie Thomas oversaw multiple innovative projects, including the creation of the Landsat program, the longest-running enterprise to obtain satellite imagery of Earth.
Her expertise and creative thinking have advanced our understanding of the universe and influenced the construction of imaging technology that remains impactful to this day.
Dr. Minnie Joycelyn Elders is an army veteran, pediatric endocrinologist, and public health administrator who was appointed the first African American Surgeon General of the United States by Bill Clinton in 1993.
Her outspoken views on female reproductive rights and science-based sex education in high schools made her a controversial public figure, prompting massive backlash from conservative parties of the time.
After her resignation as Surgeon General in 1994, Elders returned to her former position as professor of pediatric endocrinology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences where she is currently a professor emeritus and remains active in public health education.
You can learn more about Dr. Elders in her 1996 autobiography, Joycelyn Elders, M.D.: From Sharecropper’s Daughter to Surgeon General of the United States of America.
Hey all! It’s February which means it’s time for our annual #BlackHistoryMonth scientist highlights!
.
Check back routinely to learn more about the wonderful contributions made by black scientists!

To start us off, meet Dr. Joan Murrell Owens, a scientist, educator, and marine biology enthusiast! Pursuing her passion for the ocean, Dr. Murrell investigated different coral species, specifically deep-sea button coral. Working at the Smithsonian, Joan identified a new family of corals, the Rhombopsammia genus, and discovered three new button coral species.
From #business competitions to Madison’s #printandresist, we had a full start to our weekend! It was so much fun meeting everyone and making new friends. Thanks to everyone who stopped by at the Madison Public Library yesterday and got a #zine!

To close out #PrideMonth, we’re celebrating the work of Dr. Alan Hart: physician, radiologist, scientist, and writer. Dr. Hart is one of the first individuals to undergo a female to male transition, pioneering in every facet of his life.
After obtaining his medical degree @OHSU in 1917, Dr. Hart decided to undergo hormone therapy for female to male transition. While this change was one of the happiest choices he made, he faced difficulties in maintaining a job due to his transition.
Dr. Hart continued to pursue medicine and focused on tackling one of the deadliest diseases at the time, tuberculosis (TB). Dr. Hart became interested in using X-rays as a way to detect TB and created TB screening clinics which helped detect and treat patients.
To address the growing spread of TB, Dr. Hart wrote medical articles on TB detection. He also promoted awareness of TB through #scicomm pop press articles targeting the public. Thank you Dr. Hart for your dedication and remarkable work!

We honor the amazing work of Dr. Ivor Benjamin, a scientist and medical doctor focusing on cardiovascular disease at the Medical College of Wisconsin. His research involves understanding a family of stress proteins called Heat Shock Proteins and their role in heart disease.
Dr. Benjamin is recognized for both his clinical and research expertise. He has authored over 130 books, book chapters, and scientific papers which range from heat shock proteins, stem cells, COVID-19, and advancing/promoting healthcare.
Dr. Benjamin was the president of the American Heart Association (@american_heart) from 2018-2019 and is the Director of Cardiovascular Center at the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin (@medicalcollegeofwi). In addition, he was a recipient of the Pioneer Award from NIH. Keep on being amazing Dr. Ivor Benjamin!

Emily Williams has traveled the world in search of birds. As a biologist, she’s worked in Kansas, Argentina, Australia, and Denali, and studied loons, flycatchers, kingbirds, and more. And even with all these experiences and diverse species interactions, she’s now landed (ha, get it?!) on studying the common robin.
We talked with her about unseen pitfalls of catching birds in cities, protecting your food from monkeys in Peru, and what we can learn about the under-appreciated robin. https://blogs.agu.org/thirdpodfromthesun/2022/05/27/true-story-migrating-robins-thieving-capuchins/
