  The Female Quotient® on Instagram: "How many women in STEM were left out of the history books? Thousands. Dr. #JessicaWade, a London-based physicist, is working to encourage more women to pursue #STEM careers. How? In her 20s, she began writing the Wikipedia biographies about women and minority scientists who never got their due. Now, she has started spending her Sunday afternoons nominating top female scientists and scientists of color for major prizes and fellowships. She says she got sick of seeing scientists “doing awesome things and not getting credit for it." In her effort to make sure women scientists are known, she believes it will fuel a desire in the next generation! Her work has earned her an invite to Buckingham Palace to receive the prestigious British Empire Medal, for her contributions to science. What gives Wade hope for the future? She says, “There’s a whole community of us, of outspoken people who are really proactive about changing academia. And it’s not a small group. It’s big.” #womeninSTEM 👉 @jessjess1988"
