A total of 37 awesome photos of female earthquake scientists and staff from the Earthquake Science Center, Geologic Hazards Science Center and the Office of Communications and Publishing were featured along with dozens of other shout outs with the hashtag #EarthquakeWomen. The new account gained hundreds of new followers throughout the month.
