February 11th is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. There are myriad resources to showcase the wonderful contributions of women and girls in science and STEM subjects. If you’re looking for some inspiration, take a look below:
You will also find oodles of resources on scientists like dot the curriculum and beyond and STEM careers in this related blog post.
First up, here’s a little thing I made about some of my #WomenInScience role models for last year’s special @GlobalSciShow (there’s a whole Global Science Show about inspiring #WomenInSTEM)
Careers resources
You can find loads of #STEMCareers resources to support #WomenInSTEM at:
- PSTT’s A Scientist Just Like Me (including a profile from me!)
- There’s a series of videos of #ScientistStories (made by me) and other #CareersInScience #WomenInScience working at The Babraham Institute, near Cambridge, including lots of great female scientists in a variety of roles here:
I took part in the #1OfAMillion WISE Campaign in 2021 celebrating more than a million #WomenInSTEM
I was also nominated for an award celebrating #WomenInSTEM during the pandemic #CUHA22
Other Resources
- I wrote this guest blog post recently about my #SquigglyCareer #CareersInScience #PortfolioCareer

Books, postcards, games and posters
Rachel Ignotofsky’s Women In Science book (and equally beautiful postcards) are a great way to spread the word about the accomplishments of a wide variety of Women In STEM (available from wherever you buy your books).
The Who’s She? Amazing Women game is a great twist on the classic #GuessWho
And finally, to reward you for reading this far (!), these posters are a great way to showcase some incredible #WomenInSTEM
There’s also a whole host of great careers in science resources (males and females) in this twitter thread following a session at the ASE Annual conference 2022 #ASEConf2022
