I&#8217;ll be featuring practicing women scientists in future posts as well, but for now it is so gratifying to see young women getting into science education as these articulate and knowledgeable 21st century women demonstrate.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a great Physics Girl YT clip on Vortices:<br \/>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='678' height='412' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pnbJEg9r1o8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dianna has a whole slew of great videos like this explaining all sorts of physical phenomena you can access here at her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.physicsgirl.org\/\">website<\/a>.<br \/>\nEvidently her nickname is &#8220;happy pants&#8221; and well, she does totally brings her own level of enthusiasm and obvious enjoyment to her work, making sense of complex events and concepts that show how the world works.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/wearedone.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/physicsgirl4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/wearedone.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/physicsgirl4.jpg\" alt=\"physicsgirl4\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4369\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAnd she has great fun doing it!<\/p>\n<p>So much is changing in our world, and so fast.
