English physician & epidemiologist Dr. Alice Stewart is best-known for her pioneering research in the 1950s that established a strong link between prenatal X-ray exposure and childhood leukemia.

Her work influenced radiation protection standards. She was born #OTD in 1906. #WomenInSTEM #MedSky

Black-and-white photograph of English physician and pioneering epidemiologist Dr. Alice Stewart (1906–2002) working at her desk, symbolizing her groundbreaking research linking prenatal X-ray exposure to childhood leukemia. The composition positions Dr. Stewart on the left side of the frame, angled slightly toward the camera. She sits at a wooden desk with her body turned forward, leaning her forearms against the surface. Holding a pen in her right hand, she is captured in the act of writing on loose-leaf papers, looking directly at the viewer with a slight, knowing smile and an intelligent, engaged expression. Her dark hair is short, textured, and styled in loose curls around her face. She wears a crisp, light-colored medical lab coat over a textured collared shirt or blouse. The setting is a research lab or office environment. Positioned prominently in the background on the desk to her left is a large, classic black compound microscope. Stacks of research papers, documents, and reference materials are scattered across the workspace. The overall mood is intellectual, professional, and deeply focused, capturing a legendary scientist whose rigorous data collection transformed global radiation protection standards.

"The history of humankind and of science teaches us that difficulties have always improved human beings. And it is precisely from imperfection that progress was born!"

#TalDíaComoHoy en 1906 nace Alice Stewart. Doctora que en los años 50 comienza a estudiar el aumento en los casos de cáncer dentro de la población infantil (a sus madres les habían hecho radiografías durante el embarazo) pero a la que tardaron 25 años en hacerle caso.

Geologist & astronaut Dr. Kathryn Sullivan: the "most vertical human" in history.

+ From space: 1st American woman to walk in space, 11 Oct 1984
+ To the deepest point of Earth's seabed: 1st woman to dive to the Challenger Deep (🔽 35,853 ft), 7 June 2020

She was born #OTD in 1951. #WomenInSTEM

An official NASA studio portrait of Dr. Kathryn D. Sullivan (born 1951) during her early career as a space shuttle astronaut. Taken ahead of her groundbreaking October 1984 mission where she became the first American woman to perform a spacewalk, this image carries deep historical significance for women in STEM fields. The composition is a classic, vertically oriented portrait focusing on Sullivan from the waist up. She stands positioned at a three-quarter angle while turning her face back toward the viewer. Sullivan looks just to the right of the camera lens with a warm, confident smile and a gentle, approachable expression. Her brown hair is styled in a voluminous, feathered 1980s shoulder-length cut with soft curls framing her forehead. She wears a professional navy blue short-sleeved polo shirt featuring a prominent, authentic red and white NASA "worm" logo patch on the left breast pocket. In the background on her right stands a large, vibrant United States flag with its stars and stripes prominently displayed. To her left, softly out of focus on a table, sits a scale desktop model of a NASA Space Shuttle attached to its external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters. The mood is formal, patriotic, and inspiring.A candid photograph of pioneering American astronaut and oceanographer Dr. Kathryn D. Sullivan (born 1951) celebrating her historic June 2020 return from the Challenger Deep—the deepest known point in Earth’s oceans. This moment solidified her legacy as the first person to both walk in space and reach the ocean floor. The outdoor shot frames Sullivan off-center against a deep blue, slightly undulating ocean that stretches out to a hazy, light-clouded horizon line under bright sunlight. Sullivan stands leaning slightly out from a white oceanic vessel hatch or submersible entry point. She smiles broadly with triumphant energy, looking off-camera to the left. Her left arm is fully extended outward, flashing an enthusiastic thumbs-up sign. On the far left edge of the frame, another crew member's hand wearing a black textured glove mirrors her thumbs-up gesture. She wears a cobalt blue utility flight suit featuring a golden rectangular patch over her right chest. Her light brown hair is short and windblown, and she wears rectangular tortoiseshell sunglasses. Thick, bright yellow heavy-duty rigging straps slice vertically through the left foreground, framing her body, while a curved metallic silver handrail sits to her left. The overall mood is joyful, victorious, and adventurous.

Short-term effects of an SGLT2 inhibitor on divalent ions in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: a randomized crossover trial

I supported some stats, so thank you to everybody involved for this study, now in @ckj-era.bsky.social!

👉 doi.org/10.1093/ckj/...

ABSTRACT Background Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a cornerstone of chronic kidney disease (CKD) therapy, reducing disease progression, cardiovascular events, and mortality. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients were excluded from major trials, and data on electrolyte handling with SGLT2 inhibitors, in combination with tolvaptan, are lacking. Methods SIDIA was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-period crossover trial in 15 adults with ADPKD (mean eGFR 68 mL/min/1.73 m²; median age 43 years). Participants received empagliflozin 10 mg or placebo for 14 days, separated by a two-week washout. The primary endpoint was 24-hour urinary and fractional excretion of phosphate, calcium, and magnesium. Exploratory secondary endpoints included markers of kidney stone propensity, inflammation, vitamin D metabolism, and tolerability. Treatment effects were estimated using generalized linear mixed models. Given the small sample size, analyses were exploratory and focused on effect estimation. Results For the primary endpoint, neither 24-hour urinary nor fractional excretion of phosphate, calcium, or magnesium differed between empagliflozin and placebo. Empagliflozin lowered serum uric acid (–26%), increased serum magnesium (+5.7%) and urinary citrate (+78.6%), and reduced blood pressure (–4/–7 mmHg). An expected decline in eGFR (–7.1%) was observed, with no major short-term safety signals observed. Copeptin levels increased with empagliflozin (+26%). Conclusions In this exploratory mechanistic trial, no substantial short-term difference in urinary or fractional excretion of divalent ions were detected with empagliflozin. The observed changes in serum magnesium, urinary citrate, uric acid, and copeptin are hypothesis-generating and require confirmation in larger, longer-term studies.

Wishing a happy 75th birthday today to Kathryn Sullivan, the first American woman to perform a spacewalk, and one of the primary drivers behind the push to make the Hubble Space Telescope fully maintainable and upgradeable in orbit. Here is her story!

Immunologist and educator Dr. Florence Sabin died #OTD in 1953.

The first woman to hold a full professorship at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (where she graduated from in 1900) and the first woman elected to the National Academy of Sciences. #WomenInSTEM

A black-and-white historical photograph of pioneering scientist Dr. Florence Rena Sabin (1871–1953) in her laboratory workspace. Dr. Sabin, with her dark hair gathered back, wears thin, round wire-rimmed spectacles and a light-colored lab coat over a dark shirt. Seated in a dark wooden chair facing right, she pivots her upper body toward the camera with a calm, subtle smile. Her hands rest deliberately on a complex, vintage black microscope positioned on the desk before her. The laboratory setting features a dark wooden desk scattered with loose papers and a stack of documents. Behind her stands a tall wooden filing cabinet with numerous shallow drawers, while a large window to the right floods the scene with natural light, illuminating technical equipment nearby. The composition balances the scientific tools with her prominent, dignified presence, evoking an analytical yet warm and welcoming mood. This portrait highlights her legacy as the first woman elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
