Unsung Heroes in the history of STEM and medicine

SAA's Science, Technology and Health Care Section has initiated a project to highlight underrepresented and diverse persons and groups documented in archival collections on the history of STEM and medicine. The hope is that the shared information will be a useful resource for researchers. All archival repositories are encouraged to contribute information for inclusion on the STHC "Unsung Heroes" webpage

Usefulto know! My mother

Usefulto know! My mother constantly forgot her pills until we got her a smartwatch from https://bewellalert.com/product/active-alert-smartwatch/ with an alarm feature. Now, it gently vibrates to remind her at the exact time. It’s discreet, effective, and gives us peace of mind knowing she won’t miss a dose. We were worried a smartwatch would be too complex for my her, but this one is senior-friendly. The medication reminder alarm is loud enough and simple to set. She calls it his 'little nurse on the wrist.'

non profit therapy organizations

It’s great to see stories honoring unsung heroes in STEM and medicine—so many important contributions go unnoticed. I’ve learned firsthand how vital accessible care is through a non profit therapy organizations I joined last year. It not only provided mental health support I couldn’t otherwise afford, but also helped me understand the broader impact of inclusive healthcare initiatives. It’s a reminder that everyday professionals in health and science can truly change lives.
