S1345: Unveiling Theories and Experiments Developed by Women in Physical Sciences in Splash Fall 2024 (Nov. 16, 2024)
From the theory of continuous symmetry to the foundations of geometric analysis, from the development of the nuclear shell model to the experiments that proved the violation of parity conservation, women have always been there. There are more obstacles for us to remember them, but we want not only to remember them but also to understand specifically what they have discovered. In this course, we will focus on learning the mathematical and physical theories and experiments developed by women scientists. You will not only learn their names, but also explore the interesting and inspiring mathematical and physical concepts they have contributed.


S1276: Scientific Discoveries and the Women Who Made Them in Splash Spring 2024 (Apr. 21, 2024)
From the beginning of programming and computers to the unraveling of the structure of DNA, from the crucial theory in continuous symmetry to the revolutionary experiment proved the parity conservation violation, women have always been there. There are more obstacles for us to remember them but we want to not only remember them but also what they have been discovered specifically. In this course, we will dive deep into the theories, experiments, and concepts invented by the great women scientists.


S1166: STEMINST: The Great Women in Science! in Splash Fall 2023 (Nov. 18, 2023)
From the beginning of programming and computers to the unraveling of the structure of DNA, from the invention of the term "radioactivity" to the coining of the term "bioorthogonal chemistry," from the crucial theory in continuous symmetry to the revolutionary experiment proved the parity conservation violation, women have always been there. There are more obstacles for us to remember them but we want to not only remember them but also what they have been discovered specifically.
