Go Ahead And Do It: Portraits of Women in STEM at Art.Science.Gallery in Austin

 

If you are in the Austin, TX area be sure to visit Art.Science.Gallery! This fall they are hosting a show of portraits of women in science, technology, engineering, and math, called Go Ahead and Do It featuring Mad Scientist of Etsy's own Ele Willoughby (aka minouette).

"The pioneers portrayed in this collection offer an encouraging look at what women can achieve in the STEM fields despite persistent obstacles. “If it’s a good idea,” computer scientist and U.S. Rear Admiral Grace Hopper once quipped, “go ahead and do it.” A portion of the proceeds from this exhibition benefit GirlStart, a non-profit that provides opportunities for girls to become involved in STEM fields."
