For Black History Month: Marie Maynard Daly.
She linked cholesterol to heart disease and studied how arteries change under stress — science that underpins modern vascular biomaterials. 🧬
Chemistry that helps us design materials for the human body.

Olympic gold medals aren’t solid gold.
They’re sterling silver at the core, strengthened with copper, and finished with a thin electroplated gold layer. Structure from silver. Protection and symbolism from gold.
Materials science is everywhere, even on the podium 🥇
