Science for All: Meet World-Changing STEM Leaders
Featured
Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, which also falls during Black History Month. It's a great time to learn about women and Black leaders from The University of Texas at Austin and beyond who are making a difference and meet scientists and STEM leaders who are shaping science, computing and mathematics for years to come.
The WorldChangers website celebrates STEM leaders, including women and Black mathematicians and scientists such as Karen Uhlenbeck, Ray Floyd Wilson, Lisa Ng and Cécile DeWitt-Morette.
Success in natural sciences disciplines requires ingenuity, grit, insight and a pioneering spirit. The World Changers project introduces you to extraordinary women and individuals of color in STEM who have made a difference in their fields and for society. Available on the site for download are digital displays and posters that celebrate these STEM leaders, many with University of Texas ties. Grab a new Zoom background or simply browse the site to meet amazing people like Texas mathematician Vivienne Malone-Mayes or history-making NASA pioneer Katherine Johnson.
