In this #WomenInSTEMWednesday celebrating #HispanicHeritageMonth with @systemic_flow, we spotlight Dr. Sabrina González-Pasterski, a first-generation Cuban-American physicist and aerospace engineer. 🌟 Born in Chicago in 1993, Sabrina’s passion for aviation began early—she flew her first aircraft at just 12 and built her own at 13, flying solo by 16. She pursued her undergraduate studies at MIT, working on the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment, and later earned her PhD in Physics from Harvard, where she discovered the “spin memory effect” and developed the Pasterski-Strominger-Zhiboedov Triangle for electromagnetic memory. Her work has been cited by Stephen Hawking, and today, she serves as the Deputy Director of Simons Collaboration on Celestial Holography at the Simons Foundation. Dr. González-Pasterski is also a passionate advocate for STEM education, working to inspire young women in underrepresented communities in Cuba and Russia. 🚀✨ #WomenInSTEM #HispanicHeritageMonth #PhysicsLeadership

In this #WomenInSTEMWednesday celebrating #HispanicHeritageMonth with @systemic_flow, we highlight the inspiring journey of Dr. Annie Antón, a trailblazer in computer science.

In this #WomenInSTEMWednesday celebrating #HispanicHeritageMonth with sySTEMic flow, LLC we honor Dr. Deni Ramírez-Macías, a leading marine biologist and advocate for marine conservation. Born in Mexico City in 1978, Dr. Ramírez-Macías developed a deep passion for marine life from a young age, inspired by her parents' love of diving. She pursued her dream of protecting marine environments at the University of La Paz, where she first encountered her primary focus—the whale shark. In 2005, she earned her Master’s degree in Whale Shark Genetics from the Interdisciplinary Center of Marine Sciences. Her extensive research and dedication led her to become the director of Whale Shark Mexico, a project devoted to the conservation and education of these gentle giants. Dr. Ramírez-Macías has also collaborated with international organizations like EcOceánica in Peru and the Save Our Seas Foundation, working tirelessly to protect sharks and their habitats. Her work unites women from around the world who share her passion for marine conservation, making a lasting impact on the preservation of our oceans. 🌊🦈 #MarineBiology #ConservationLeadership #HispanicHeritage

In this #WomenInSTEMWednesday with Systemic Flow, we celebrate the remarkable legacy of Dr. Wangari Maathai, a trailblazer in environmental activism and education. Born in Ihithe, Kenya, in 1940, she was one of the first women in her community to receive an education, thanks to the support of her family. In 1960, she participated in the ""Kennedy Airlift"" program, which enabled her to study in the U.S. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Biology from Mount St. Scholastica College and later, a Master's from the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Maathai became the first woman in eastern and central Africa to earn a Ph.D. in 1971, joining the University of Nairobi as its first female department chair and professor. Her pioneering spirit led her to found the Green Belt Movement in the 1970s, a groundbreaking initiative that promoted environmental conservation and improved quality of life through tree planting. The movement also became integral to the pro-democracy efforts in Kenya during the 1980s, showcasing Dr. Maathai’s fearless advocacy for social justice. In 2004, her impactful work was recognized globally when she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Dr. Maathai also served as Kenya's Deputy Minister for the Environment in 2003 and played a crucial role as a mediator in the 2007 Kenyan elections. Her legacy continues to inspire environmentalists and activists around the world. 🌍🌱 #EnvironmentalLeadership #Trailblazer #NobelLaureate

In this #WomenInSTEMWednesday with @systemic_flow, we celebrate Phyllis Gaynell Bolds, a trailblazer in aerospace engineering and research. Born in 1932 and the valedictorian of Dunbar High School's class of 1950, Phyllis went on to earn a degree in Physics from Central State College, graduating Summa Cum Laude in 1954 as the first recipient of the Delta Sigma Theta Debutante Scholarship. She began her remarkable career at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where she contributed to the analysis of data from aircraft such as the Grumman B-2 Spirit and McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. Her groundbreaking research on aeroacoustic environments and helicopter vibration frequencies led to significant advancements in military aviation technology. Throughout her 30-year tenure at the Air Force, Phyllis earned two Master's degrees and received the prestigious Systems Command Certificate of Merit for her contributions to the field. Her legacy of innovation and excellence continues to inspire future generations of women in STEM. #AerospaceEngineering #Trailblazer #WomenInScience

In this #WomenInSTEMWednesday with @systemic_flow, we celebrate the trailblazing journey of Dr. Dorothy Lavinia Brown. Born in 1919 in Philadelphia and overcoming a challenging childhood, Dr. Brown pursued her dream of becoming a doctor with unwavering determination. She graduated top of her class at Troy High School and went on to earn a Bachelor's in Arts from Bennett College on a full scholarship. Despite the hurdles of World War II, she worked for the New York Army Ordnance Department and later attended Meharry Medical College, graduating with honors in 1948. Choosing a path less traveled by women at the time, Dr. Brown became the first African American woman fellow of the American College of Surgeons. She served as Chief of Surgery at Nashville's Riverside Hospital and was a Clinical Surgery Professor at Meharry for over 25 years. In 1966, she broke new ground by becoming a member of the Tennessee State Legislature, where she advocated for women’s reproductive rights. Dr. Brown's legacy as a pioneering surgeon and advocate continues to inspire us all. #WomenInSTEM #Trailblazer #Inspiration
