#OTD in 2024, Nafissatou Thiam won her 3rd consecutive Olympic gold medal in the heptathlon at the Paris Olympics. 🥇 🥇 🥇 She is the first multi-event athlete in Olympic history to win 3 consecutive titles. Her first gold medal at Rio 2016 & second at Tokyo 2020. #WomenInSport #Belgium #champion

An action shot of Belgian heptathlete Nafissatou Thiam competing in the javelin throw at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, a historic event where she secured her third consecutive Olympic gold medal. Thiam is positioned in the center, her body dynamically twisted as she prepares to release the javelin. Her left arm is extended fully forward and slightly upward, fingers splayed to guide her momentum, while her right hand grips the purple-and-blue javelin branded "Nemeth Classic 75m" pulled far back behind her. She wears a white Team Belgium uniform featuring black, yellow, and red side accents and a bib reading "PARIS 2024 THIAM". Her face is a mask of intense concentration, with furrowed brows and a clenched jaw. A supportive black and orange technical belt wraps around her midsection. The background shows a heavily blurred stadium crowd, creating a shallow depth of field that keeps the focus entirely on her powerful, athletic execution.

Soviet aviator & cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya was the: * 🚀 Second woman in #space (1982) * First woman to fly to space twice, and * First woman to perform a spacewalk (1984) She was born #OTD in 1948. #WomenInSTEM #History

A close-up, historical portrait of Soviet cosmonaut and aviator Svetlana Savitskaya (born August 8, 1948), celebrated as the second woman in space, the first woman to fly to space twice, and the first woman to perform a spacewalk. Smiling warmly at the camera with an open, cheerful, and confident expression, she looks forward with bright eyes, and a wide smile. Her dark brown hair is styled with a distinct straight fringe or bangs covering her forehead, while the rest of her long hair flows over her right shoulder. She wears a white Sokol space suit, visible from the collar up, featuring a prominent blue and metallic metal locking ring for her helmet around her neck and a blue fabric strap across her upper chest. The composition focuses entirely on her face and shoulders against a plain, deep dark background, evoking the vastness of space. The mood is triumphant and inspiring, capturing a historic pioneer of space exploration.

Obstetrical anesthesiologist Dr. Virginia Apgar invented the APGAR score, a way to quickly assess the health of a newborn immediately after birth. Her quick evaluation method dramatically dropped infant mortality rates worldwide. She died #OTD in 1974. #WomenInSTEM #MedSky

A black-and-white composite image features two distinct photographs of trailblazing obstetrical anesthesiologist Dr. Virginia Apgar (1909–1974), developer of the lifesaving newborn Apgar score. On the left, a studio portrait shows a close-up of Apgar smiling softly, wearing a dark blazer over a light-colored blouse with a pearl necklace, cat-eye glasses, and her hair styled in soft, white waves. On the right, an action photograph captures her in a clinical setting, wearing a surgical cap, mask tucked under her chin, and eyeglasses. She leans forward intently, gently placing her hand on the head of a tiny newborn infant lying on an examination table. The composition juxtaposes her distinguished professional identity with her direct, hands-on impact in neonatal care. The mood shifts from dignified poise to focused, compassionate medical observation, encapsulating her historical significance in drastically reducing global infant mortality rates.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are reading a map.
Blue: Do you want to take the small roads, or the big route?
Green: I know the bridge is better in almost every way, but I like the scenic route.

Blue continues to study the map while Green looks up to him questioningly.
Blue: Good. We can't take the bridge anyway, it's on fire and also flooded.

Both foxes look at each other with deep confusion, baffled by each others' logic.
Green: ...Then why did you ask?
Blue: Because I value your opinions?

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is minding his own business, peacefully reading a book, as Green looks out of the window, tail raised in alert.

Blue's book goes momentarily up in the air as Blue jumps, startled by Green's excited yelling.
Green: The signs have aligned! Blueberry season is upon us!

Blue looks after Green as Green rushes off to make arrangements.
Blue: What kind of signs do you see from our window? We're in the city.
Green: Bird poop!

Blue raises his eyebrow in confusion as Green returns, wearing a sun hat and carrying a bucket for foraging.
Blue: ...You do bird poop divination?
Green: They turn purple when there's blueberries.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are outside, looking at a rain cloud. Blue is glaring at the cloud, and the cloud is glaring back.
Blue: Are you going to rain or not?
Cloud: That depends. Were you planning to paint that shed today?
Green: That depends on whether it rains today.

The cloud does not answer. The foxes and the cloud glare at each other in silence for a moment. Eventually, the cloud breaks the silence.
Cloud: We can do this all day, buddy.
Blue: We will.

Composer Nancy Van de Vate (d. #OTD in 2023) founded the International League of Women Composers (1975) in response to/combat systemic gender discrimination. She saw women composers routinely overlooked for performances, recordings & academic opportunities compared to their male peers. #music

A black-and-white portrait of composer Nancy Van de Vate (1930–2023), who founded the International League of Women Composers in 1975 to fight systemic gender discrimination in classical music. Captured in a classic mid-century studio style, she is posed in a three-quarter view from the chest up against a stark, deep black background. She looks upward and slightly to her right with an enigmatic, soft expression, her dark lips gently closed. Her dark hair is styled in structured, finger-waved curls typical of the era, cleanly framing her face. She wears an elegant, dark, off-the-shoulder gown or top with a clean sweetheart neckline, emphasizing her collarbone and shoulders. The composition utilizes dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, with a strong light source casting bright highlights across her face, neck, and shoulder while throwing the right side of her hair and the background into deep shadow. The overall mood is dignified, artistic, and timeless, capturing her during her early career.

Dr. Dorothy Hansine Andersen first identified & named cystic fibrosis in 1938. She was also at the forefront of developing diagnostic tests & treatment for CF. Her breakthrough shifted #pediatric medicine as kids w/CF were historically being misdiagnosed with celiac disease. #WomenInSTEM #MedSky

A colorized portrait of physician and pathologist Dr. Dorothy Hansine Andersen (1901–1963), renowned for first identifying and naming cystic fibrosis in 1938 and pioneering its early diagnostic tests. Posed from the waist up, Dr. Andersen sits facing forward in a relaxed position behind a desk or table, with the lower edge of the frame catching the top of her hand. She wears a crisp white laboratory coat over a faint pink-and-white vertically striped button-down blouse, fastened at the neck with a small metallic starburst brooch. Her expression is calm, direct, and serious, looking straight toward the camera with wise eyes and a subtle, closed-mouth hint of a smile. Her dark brown hair is parted just off center and pulled back neatly. The background features a soft, muted wash of tan and blue tones with the silhouette of a wooden chair visible on the left. The composition is clean and centered, projecting a professional, authoritative, yet approachable mood that emphasizes her legacy as a trailblazing figure in pediatric medicine.
