An Post has unveiled new stamps celebrating two Trinity Women in STEM✨

Featuring two pioneering Irish scientists who have excelled in their fields, An Post has released a special set of postage stamps to celebrate women's contributions and advocacy in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics and STEM communications.
They are:
👏 Professor Jocelyn Bell Burnell is an astrophysicist who discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967 and has studied the sky across almost the whole electromagnetic spectrum. 
👏 Professor Aoife McLysaght is a geneticist and holds the Chair of Evolutionary Genetics in Trinity College Dublin and is one of the world’s leading genetics researchers. She was recently appointed to the role of Government Science Advisor. 

Unveiled on March 5, 2025, by Minister James Lawless T.D., the stamps recognize the vital role of women in STEM and the importance of gender balance in research and innovation.

✏️ Designed by Detail Design Studio, the stamps feature portraits by Steve Doogan, accompanied by scientific imagery, a radio telescope and a DNA helix, representing their groundbreaking contributions.

Professor Aoife McLysaght, Government Science Advisor, said: “I am deeply honoured and humbled to be featured in this special stamp series alongside Professor Jocelyn Bell Burnell, a true pioneer in astrophysics. It is wonderful to see An Post celebrating the contributions of Irish women in STEM, even if the two stamps represent just a small sample of the vast body of amazing work to choose from. Each person brings a unique perspective, and these stamps help highlight the value of diversity in STEM. I hope these stamps inspire future generations of women to pursue careers in STEM and to know that their contributions are valued and recognised."
