This week, we celebrate the International Day of LGBTIQA+ People in STEM!
From Alan Turing breaking WWII codes to Ben Barres’ groundbreaking neurobiology discoveries, Sara Josephine Baker saving 90,000 children in New York, and Wonder Woman co-creator Elizabeth Holloway Marston, queer contributions to science and society are monumental. Add in the modern voices like JOY’s Dr. Cat and Clayton (happy birthday, Clayton! 🎉), and the legacy of excellence continues to thrive. 🌟
But science isn’t the only buzz this week! Fresh from D23 Brazil, Marvel and Disney dropped major updates. A sneak peek at Captain America: Brave New World teased Harrison Ford as the Red Hulk, and we got a taste of Thunderbolts with its mix of action and laughs. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man swings onto Disney+ on Jan 30, 2025, while Fantastic Four and Daredevil: Born Again have fans counting the days. Marvel truly knows how to keep the excitement alive! 🕷️
Tune in as we connect the brilliance of STEM trailblazers with the ever-expanding world of pop culture. Science, superheroes, and inspiration—it’s all here! 🎧
