Remember how a lead ESA scientist on the Rosetta livestream yesterday wore that awful shirt covered in sexualized women? Friend and TMS reader Rachel sent us this photo which goes ahead and fixes his look right up. What better way to wear your science pride on your sleeve than to rock a shirt covered in famous historical women in STEM?
Update: The shirt was originally created by @SMLXist, who is actually currently looking to make the shirt a reality. Go and help her out!
Hey guys, gonna see about getting a legit version of the shirt made. A lot depends on getting creative commons hi-res photos of these ladies

Okay, so I sourced some shops that do all-over t-shirt printing. It’s a difficult process, so there will need to be a high order qty.

Some of these ladies seem to have public domain or CC portraits available; others don’t. Need more time to do research; tonight probably.

Bottom line is that this is eminently doable. Will probably do a Kickstarter type thing just to ensure there is enough interest.

I will seek to portray a wide diversity. And I promise my Photoshop skills are way better than depicted in the original, um, “design.”

Oh and of COURSE the proceeds will be donated to promoting diversity in STEM. Please send me ideas on the best organizations!

Pls help make the Women in Science t-shirt real! I need: 1) Names of women to add 2) Non-profits to receive proceeds 3) CC/PD hi-res pics — Zup (@SMLXist) November 13, 2014
