In honor of International Day of Women and Girls in Science (February 11), the Vilcek Foundation released a free coloring book that celebrates the scientific careers and contributions of 19 outstanding contemporary women scientists and physicians. Not only are the women important leaders in STEM, they are all immigrants whose contributions and experiences have been recognized by the Foundation.
The downloadable digital publication features brief biographies of the 19 scientists, accompanied by illustrations by graphic artist Paula Kinsel representing each scientist and their work. The book also includes a resource list highlighting 15 organizations whose work directly supports broadening gender equity and diversity in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), including the National Girls Collaborative Project, The Association for Women in Science, the Rosalind Franklin Society, and Girls Who Code.
