Hi, I’m Ella Berry ( @lobo_oculto); I'm a MSc Conservation Practice student at Cardiff University. This #February11, #WomenInScience Day, #NatSCA has allowed me to share stories of those who've paved the way for us, stories I wish I had seen more of in museums as a young girl.

Each 2 tweets feature a woman who has contributed to science that may have not received the recognition for her work historically as she deserved. These inspiring women should be household names. Tweet 1 = about her, Tweet 2 = a quote she gave. #February11 #WomenInScience

It is impossible to condense these women’s lives into 1 post; this is a reminder of their existence and contribution and to inspire us all to look a little deeper into their pasts, or to try something seemingly impossible in the future. #February11 #WomenInScience

If there are women who inspire you, who you think have contributed to science, who you believe should be more well-known or have not been given the recognition they deserve, please get involved and tweet us here @Nat_SCA with the hashtags #February11 #WomenInScience
