Girls Exploring Physics
@GirlsExpPhysics
Offering physics workshops for girls* in grades 9 and 10 and Pro-D events for science teachers.
*We also welcome trans, genderqueer and non-binary students.
- Look at all of the data it took to make the blackhole image.
- If you study physics then one day you might contribute to an amazing discovery like this. #EHTBlackHole #WomenInPhysics3 years ago MIT grad student Katie Bouman led the creation of a new algorithm to produce the first-ever image of a black hole. Today, that image was released. More info: bit.ly/BHoleGuardian 2016 story: bit.ly/BlackHoleCSAIL #EHTblackhole #EventHorizonTelescope
- Yep and most girls have never seen a woman physicist. #womeninphysics“You can’t be what you can’t see” is something that resonates with me- I knew NO latina marine biologists when growing up.
GIF - We're so excited that Donna Strickland, a Canadian woman, was one of the winners of the @NobelPrize in Physics! #womeninphysics“We need to celebrate women physicists because they’re out there… I’m honoured to be one of those women," says Donna Strickland. She becomes the third woman to receive the #NobelPrize in Physics, joining Maria Goeppert-Mayer (1963) and Marie Curie (1903). Congratulations!
- Here's a great way to encourage more young women to pursue a career in science. Donate to the GoFundMe campaign to get @AngelaDSaini's amazing book "Inferior" into public high schools in Canada: gofundme.com/inferior-in-ca…
- Dear BC High School Science Teachers, Please encourage your scientifically-minded female Grade 11 students to take Physics 12 next year. They can't major in physics or engineering at the university level without it. @BC_AAPT @bcscta @bctf Please Share. #womeninphysics
- Tired of male-dominated meetings, leading cancer conference makes nearly all of its speakers women sciencemag.org/news/2018/09/t…
- Happy #WomenandGirlsInScienceDay!! We can't wait until we can start running our hands-on physics workshops for Grade 9&10 girls again. Until then, here are some photos of past workshops @SFUPhysics and the @scienceworldca Girls and STEAM event. #WomenInPhysics #GirlPower
- Nominate a UK #WomaninScience to appear on the £50 bank note. We voted for Rosalind Franklin. #womeninphysicsExplore the world of science from the A of astronomy to the Z of zoology. Nominate the scientist you would like to see on the new £50 note: b-o-e.uk/thinkScience #ThinkScience #50poundnote
00:00 - Barbie is getting really excited for the Girls Exploring Physics workshop this Thursday @SFU. Looking forward to seeing everyone and trying out some new hands-on physics activities including "Starry Lights" and "The Physics of Candy". #WomeninPhysics
- "...physics was seen as an option for 30% of boys but just 8% of girls, while computing was being considered by 16% of boys and just 3% of girls." Encouragement is still needed in certain STEM fields. forbes.com/sites/nickmorr…
- This is a great opportunity for high school students interested in physics and math.
- The green curve here is going in the WRONG direction. We need to do more to encourage girls to go into #physics #womeninphysics #womeninstem
