Risultati per "delle donne" in Scienza

"16 Luglio 1945. È la mattina del giorno X. Io sono qui, a Compania Hill. Appena si avvicinano le 5.30 comincia il conto alla rovescia. La musica di Caijkovskij diffusa dall'interfono ha il compito di rasserenare gli animi mentre aspettiamo la detonazione". Sono parole di Leona Woods, la fisica donna che ha partecipato direttamente alla creazione della bomba atomica.

Una ragazza si laurea in giurisprudenza. Ma il suo futuro le appare una nebbia, il presente bloccato. Trova il coraggio di partire e rinascere, tra le montagne. Una storia vera. Eva ha venticinque anni, si è da poco laureata in Giurisprudenza, ma la legge non è la sua passione. Vive a Roma, con la madre e la nonna, malata di Alzheimer. Le giornate sono confuse, offuscate, il futuro è avvolto da una nebbia e il presente pesa. Si è però, di recente, innamorata. Ma non di una persona fatta di carne e di ossa.

Narratives about decision making are often inadvertently tailored primarily to men. Meanwhile, narratives about women in business overlook decision making or offer advice that is unhelpful and can even backfire. How Women Decide fills this gap. It takes on the very real psychological and cultural obstacles women face, asks how these affect decision making, and suggests practical changes for approaching important choices.

The Latin term for the female genitalia, pudendum, means “parts for which you should be ashamed”. Until 1651, ovaries were called female testicles. The fallopian tubes are named for a man. Named, claimed, and shamed: Welcome to the story of the female body, as penned by men. Today, a new generation of (mostly) women scientists is finally redrawing the map. With modern tools and fresh perspectives, they’re looking at the organs traditionally bound up in reproduction—the uterus, ovaries, vagina—and seeing within them a new biology of change and resilience.

Dr. Ernst Gräfenberg was among the most sought-after gynecologists in pre-World War II Germany. The creator of the first IUD, known as the Gräfenberg ring, he was posthumously credited with identifying the eponymous "Gräfenberg spot" or G-spot. He was also a Jew in Nazi Germany, and by 1938 he had been stripped of his practice, his possessions, and his freedom and was languishing in a Nazi prison.

Because of the diseases it spreads, we have learned to distance ourselves from our waste, but the long line of engineering marvels we’ve created to do so - from Roman sewage systems and medieval latrines to the immense, computerized treatment plants we use today - has also done considerable damage to the Earth’s ecology. Now scientists tell us: We’ve been wasting our waste.

At first it appears that Alejandro stomped the man to death, but a closer look shows a crossbow dart in the man’s back.

Living busily on Planet Earth, we rarely remember that we actually inhabit only a miniscule part of the universe. In The Planets and the Solar System, Jen Green paints the wider picture, and takes us on a journey across billions of kilometers in our galaxy, from our Sun to near and distant planets. Some, like Mercury, have a molten core surrounded with crust and spins quickly; Jupiter, on the other hand, is a big ball of gas.

Field Notes from an Unintentional Birder follows the peregrinations of a narrator who learns more from birds than she ever anticipated, finding new meaning in midlife.
