So thrilled that Ada Twist, Scientist made her debut in the Thanksgiving Day Parade! This brainy little girl is teaching young viewers how important it is to be curious, and how anyone can be a scientist—no matter their age or background.

Happy 71st birthday to Dr. Alexa Canady. She became the first black woman to become a neurosurgeon in 1981. She also co-invented a device to treat fluid buildup in the brain.

Not me on Beyonce's internet on a whole list with @Beyonce. 🥺😭 But truly, what an incredible honor to share space with so many trailblazers in the STEM world and beyond.

Thank you WeRepSTEM @WeRepSTEM for a great article about my newly released Brilliant Black Inventors in celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth! #schools #libraries #teachers #librarians #parents #childrensbook #reading #learning #education
WeRepSTEM@WeRepSTEM21 Oct 2021
Earlier this year, @JoyJamesAuthor published 101 Black Inventors and their Inventions - a book aimed at kids aged 9-12. That was followed up with Brilliant Black Inventors, a kids' book released ahead of October, which is Black History Month in the UK.

I am going to have multiple threads today. One of them is what I do in a day as a mentally ill PhD student, others are puzzle pieces of my story ranging from diagnoses, recovery, advocacy... If you have any questions or have something you'd like me to discuss: please let me know!

In the run up to #BlackinPhysics I'm trying to find any Black women in the UK, who either have a degree in physics and are CEO of a company or who have a PhD? I know of Ayesha Ofori (PropELLE), @monifa_monifa and Maggie Aderin-Pocock. Anyone else out there...? Pls share

I have finally arrived for Bisexual Visibility Day. Pls hype me up, thank u. #BiVisibilityDay
A bisexual fairy with neon rainbow wings is smugly smiling at you. They (the original poster, Srestha) have short wavy/curly black hair, and are wearing a pair of black cat-eye spectacles, a dark blue tee, and grey Superman shorts. They have very awkwardly placed a rainbow sticker at the bottom of the pic for no apparent reason (other than to hide their oddly placed arm). If the reader is bisexual, Srestha wishes them a very happy Bi Visibility Day. 💜
