Tahlequah: Where Home Is
At the beginning of October I went back home for my sister’s wedding. I flew into Tulsa International airport got my rental car and preceded to head on the BA expressway toward Muskogee. On my drive I was thinking about how much I missed seeing the outer hills of the Ozark Plateau. I have traveled this route many times before for high school sporting events or going to Tulsa on a day trip. I suppose the thought of my sister getting married had me remembering the times we ran around in those hills.

Wisconsin Meet Aggieland: The Weather is the same but the scenery is not.
You can imagine an individual from Wisconsin should be loving this weather right now, but I am not. I left all my wool sweaters, long underwear, hats, mittens and North Face arctic down parkas in the north where I thought they belonged. Between the snow of December ‘17 or this ominous, cold weather of February ‘18, Texas weather you have me fooled. But I am not bitter, I’m just bitter cold.

Nobel Women
October is a very special month for STEM scholars since it’s when the most awaited Nobel laureates are announced for the annum. As in every other sector, gender equality becomes a prominent concern considering the Nobel laureate nominees. Even though 42% of STEM graduates are women, there exists a significant underrecognition of their contribution to the scientific community with regards Nobel prize awarding. Over the 117 year history of Nobel prize, only 3% of the awardees are women. Considering all these facts, the year 2018 stands out as a turning point of this trend being the first year in the entire history of Nobel prize when both chemistry and physics Nobel prizes were won by women. Therefore, this months blog is dedicated to those wonderful women scientists whose work was recognized at this years’ Nobel awards.
