Today is the international day of the Woman and Girl in Science. To all badass women, scientists keep doing what you do: discovery, mentorship, and hard work. YOU belong in SCIENE.
To others, uplift the Women scientists you know, cite them, promote them, sponsor them, invite them - be an upstander.
