Famous Women in STEM
She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize
Marie Skłodowska Curie
These drugs originally for diabetes show potential for treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
GLP-1 drugs
When sodium reacts with chlorine, it forms this type of bond based on electron transfer.
Ionic bond
This company builds the 737 MAX and the Starliner spacecraft.
Boeing
In structural dynamics, this occurs when a structure vibrates at its natural frequency, amplifying motion dangerously.
Resonance
She was a key figure in the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA
Rosalind Franklin
This company founded by Elon Musk that develops implantable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Its technology aims to create a direct link between the brain and computers, initially focusing on medical applications like restoring function to people with paralysis by allowing them to control devices with their thoughts.
Neuralink
This measure of spread is the square root of the variance.
Standard deviation
Founded in 1937, this Japanese company revolutionized car manufacturing with its “lean production system.”
Toyota
In machine learning, this term describes when a model fits training data too closely, capturing noise rather than the true pattern.
Overfitting
She was a visionary mathematician and computer pioneer who is often regarded as the world’s first computer programmer
Ada Lovelace
Projected to draw up to 580 TWh of electricity annually by 2030, these infrastructures supporting AI training and cloud computing could rival the energy demand of entire nations.
Data centers
This type of learning allows AI systems to improve through labeled examples.
Supervised learning
This company’s name comes from a mathematical term meaning “a 1 followed by 100 zeros.”
In thermodynamics, this quantity represents the total energy of a system, including internal energy plus the product of pressure and volume.
Enthaply
She developed the first compiler and there is a conference named after her
Grace Hopper
This type of power captures the energy generated from the natural salinity gradient between freshwater and saltwater.
Osmotic power
This type of collision conserves both momentum and kinetic energy
Elastic collision
With divisions like Aviation, Power, and Renewable Energy, this century-old American engineering company recently split into three separate entities.
GE (General Electric)
In prosthetic design, this signal type, often collected from surface electrodes, is used to control robotic limbs.
Electromyographic (EMG) signals
She was a pioneering industrial engineer and psychologist who is known for her groundbreaking work in the fields of human factors and efficiency in the workplace
Lillian Gilbreth
This type of AI combines the flexibility and generality of AI foundation models with the ability to act in the world by creating “virtual coworkers” that can autonomously plan and execute multistep workflows
Agentic AI
This diagram shows how activities depend on each other and helps find the critical path
PERT or CPM chart
Known for its “Think” motto, this company developed the first hard drive and commercial AI systems decades before ChatGPT.
IBM
In stochastic processes, this type of chain models systems where the next state depends only on the current state, not the full history
Markov chain
