A weekly data drop by atom*innen that asks questions about the visibility of women in physics — and answers them with numbers. Each week, we take a close look at one physics award: How many people have been honoured, and how many of them were women? The findings are turned into short, easy-to-share graphics to make patterns in recognition and visibility easier to see — and to start conversations.
Explore the editions.
Each edition comes with two graphics: a quiz and a reveal. Click any graphic to view and download it, then share the data and help start a conversation.

Download the graphics and share them. Physics Counts is about more than collecting numbers. It is about making patterns in recognition and visibility visible — and starting conversations about them.
Share a graphic with your colleagues, students, research group or network and ask: What do you think?
