On this day, we celebrate the birthday of the pioneering scientist and artist Marie Tharp. Marie’s meticulous work interpreting vast datasets of echo-sounding data led her to create highly detailed maps of the seafloor, significantly contributing to the discovery of the rift valley in the mid-Atlantic Ridge and providing critical support for Alfred Wegener’s theory of continental drift. Despite initial dismissal of her findings as “girl talk,” she persisted and was eventually vindicated. Marie Tharp is both an innovator and a trailblazer, serving as an inspiration for scientists everywhere. She symbolizes the crucial role of women in fields.

Expedition 403 is unique in that it is led by two female co-chiefs and has a higher number of female scientists among the science party, a reflection of change since Marie’s time working as a scientist, but this expedition being an exception to the norm in science more broadly also reflects the change that still needs to come.
