Ele Willoughby, PhD<p>Happy birthday to one of greatest <a href="https://spore.social/tags/mathematicians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mathematicians</span></a> of all time Emmy Noether (1882-1935), here with her eponymous theorem, the backbone of modern physics. Noether’s theorem links any symmetry of a system with a conservation law. In my portrait, I chose to depict a young Emmy in front of a blackboard with a more simple formulation of her theorem and three specific applications of it, shown schematically, 🧵1/</p><p><a href="https://spore.social/tags/linocut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linocut</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/printmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>printmaking</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/sciart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sciart</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/histsci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>histsci</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/WomenInSTEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInSTEM</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/womensHistoryMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>womensHistoryMonth</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a></p>

Project Gutenberg<p>"My methods are really methods of working and thinking; this is why they have crept in everywhere anonymously."</p><p>Happy Birthday Emmy Noether!!</p><p>She made many important contributions to abstract algebra. She proved Noether's 1st and 2nd theorems, which are fundamental in mathematical physics. She developed theories of rings, fields, & algebras. In physics, Noether's theorem explains the connection between symmetry & conservation laws.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmy_Noether" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmy_Noe</span><span class="invisible">ther</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mathematics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/womeninStem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>womeninStem</span></a></p>
Charlie (Deanna) Hooper<p>One of the most exhausting things about being a (perceived) woman working in computational physics is dealing with men who don't think women can do physics and men who don't think women can code (there is a lot of overlap here). Things men have tried to 'explain' to me recently:<br>- Basic coding practices<br>- A topic I have published papers on<br>- How to debug a code ("have you tried adding print statements")<br>- How code releases work<br>- My own ideas 😫 <br><a href="https://kind.social/tags/WomenInSTEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInSTEM</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/WomenWhoCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenWhoCode</span></a></p>
