Smithsonian Celebrates Women in Science with Comics

As part of its commemoration of Women's History Month in March, and International Women's Day, the Smithsonian is airing programs on Sunday nights on women's contributions to science, as well as a series of comic books to accompany the programs.  Recently reported by Brigid Alverson in Comic Book Resources, the comics "each illustrate 'a key moment in the scientist's early life, when they started asking the questions that led to their research.'"  http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2011/03/smithsonian-comics-celebrate-women-in-science/   Teacher resources on women inventors are also available at http://invention.smithsonian.org/downloads/wminventorsguide.pdf .
