On International #WomenInScience Day, and every day, we always look to the wisdom of @CarnegiePlanets' National Medal of Science-winning astronomer Vera Rubin, whose research confirmed the existence of dark matter and who was a lifelong champion for women in science.

This International #WomenInScience Day we are remembering some of our game-changing Carnegie scientists, like @CarnegieDevBio's Nobel winning Barbara McClintock, whose work on "jumping genes" was initially dismissed, but eventually revolutionized her field.
