Women in STEM
Whether it’s tracking black bears, exploring the depths of the oceans, or mapping the migration of birds, women can do it all. Around the world women are contributing to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to help increase our understanding of our planet and protect it.

Definitions in the Field: Photosynthesis
Did you know that most of the oxygen we breathe comes from tiny plants in the ocean? They make it using a process called photosynthesis. National Geographic Explorer and oceanographer Branwen Williams explains how plants use sunlight to feed themselves and give us oxygen.

Photosynthesis
Learn about the process that plants, algae, and some bacteria use to make their own food and the oxygen we breathe.

Lazy River Drifters
National Geographic Explorer, Gabby Corradino squelches through the mud of the Anacostia River to show us how many plankton live in Washington, D.C., United States, and why they are so cool. Plankton are responsible for most of the oxygen we breathe, but that is only one of many reasons to appreciate these tiny organisms. Gabby also teaches us how to collect plankton in our own backyards, so we can get up close and personal with our tiny neighbors.
