Dr. Esther Boise Van Deman was the first female Roman field archaeologist. In 1907, she revolutionized the field by realizing changing brick & ancient concrete styles could date ruins. Her framework remains the standard for dating Roman monuments today.️ She was born #OTD in 1862. #WomenInSTEM

A formal sepia-toned studio portrait of Dr. Esther Boise Van Deman (1862–1937), the first woman to specialize in Roman field archaeology and the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in Latin from the University of Chicago. Dr. Van Deman is seated, facing forward with her body turned slightly to the left. She gazes directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and subtly pleasant expression. Her graying hair is swept upward and meticulously styled into a soft, rolled pompadour bun pinned at the top of her head. She wears an elegant, dark, patterned brocade or jacquard jacket over a lighter silk blouse. The neckline and front cuffs of the outfit are heavily adorned with intricate, wide white lace trimming that adds a formal, dignified texture to her attire. Her right arm curves gently across her lap, showing a hint of lace at the wrist. The lighting is soft and directional, illuminating the side of her face and chest while casting the background into a deep, warm, dark vignette. The composition is balanced and classic, projecting a mood of scholarly authority, refinement, and historic achievement befitting a trailblazer in scientific archaeology.

When Time asked Trump whether he’d rule out declaring a state of emergency in the runup to the midterms, he should’ve said, “Of course that won't happen.” Instead, he hedged. Given the broader pattern, I find it tough to shrug off stuff like this. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump hedges when asked about using the Insurrection Act ahead of midterms

In light of his track record, it’s tough to shrug when he dodges a question about possibly declaring a state of emergency ahead of the elections.

Behavioral biologist Dr. Victoria Braithwaite: the first person to demonstrate that fish feel pain. Her groundbreaking research impacted animal welfare research & changed guidelines for the treatment of fish in laboratories & fisheries in Europe, Canada & beyond. She died #OTD in 2019. #WomenInSTEM

Candid color photograph of British behavioral biologist Dr. Victoria A. Braithwaite (1967–2019), renowned for pioneering research proving fish feel pain, sitting inside a science laboratory. Captured from a slightly elevated angle, she sits angled right in a black office chair while turning her upper body and head toward the camera, exuding a warm and inviting presence. She wears a white lab coat open over a black-and-white striped turtleneck sweater and blue jeans. Her short, light brown hair frames a cheerful, smiling face. Behind her, shelves hold numerous glass jars filled with specimen liquids, while a desktop computer, microscope, and lab equipment clutter the desk. The composition positions her as the focal point against a backdrop of active scientific inquiry, conveying an intellectual and passionate mood. This photograph highlights her historic contributions to animal welfare, notably altering guidelines for treating fish in laboratories and fisheries.
