Dr. Helen Jackson poses for a portrait in one of her home offices in Washington, DC on April 25, 2025. She is still pursuing research after her career as a nuclear physicist was unexpectedly put on pause. She was in the final days of her onboarding for a new role at the U.S. Patent Office when she received the email that her offer had been rescinded days after Trump's inauguration.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Esther Salas, a U.S. district court judge in New Jersey, has an emotional meeting with Senators following a Senate Committee in Washington, D.C. in December 2021. In 2020, Salas’ 20-year-old son Daniel was fatally shot at their family home. The suspect was a lawyer who described himself as an “anti-feminist,” and had appeared before Salas in court concerning his lawsuit challenging the military’s male-only draft. (Rod Lamk/Alamy)
