In my November newsletter, I listed TV series that featured women in the military.  Novelist, coach podcaster Beth Barany reminded me of the TV women  characters serving in military capacities in space: Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Killjoys (2015-2019). Beth has written on the character Samantha Carter, Air Force astrophysicist in the series Stargate SG-1 (1997-2007 on Showtime and SciFi network).

Like the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media team that’s been tracking the power of STEM women on  TV, Beth spotlights and celebrates the presence of STEM women in science  fiction and government work. Why yes, as a former government employee, I  proudly watched all 246 episodes of Bones ! Thanks, Beth, for adding depth to our recognition of TV women characters.
