Ele Willoughby, PhDHappy birthday to botanist & photography trailblazer Anna Atkins (1799-1871), née Children!Atkins’ mother died when she was still an infant, but she was close with her naturalist father & received a much more scientific education than was common for women in her time.

Ele Willoughby, PhDHappy birthday to Caroline Herschel (1750 – 1848) a trail blazing woman in <a href="https://spore.social/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a>. Hers was a real life Cinderella story, where rather than marrying a prince, she made a life and career for herself. Marriage her expected role but she was deemed unmarriageable, since a childhood bout of typhus stunted her growth. Her mother thought she should train to be a servant, & purposely stood in the way of her learning French, or music,🧵<a href="https://spore.social/tags/printmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#printmaking</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/sciart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sciart</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/WomenInSTEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WomenInSTEM</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/astronomer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomer</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/histsci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#histsci</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastoArt</a>

Project GutenbergSeeing dark matter in the Andromeda galaxy By Vera Rubin, from the archives, via @physicstodayThis is a story of why and how Kent Ford and I studied the orbital velocities of stars in the Andromeda galaxy 40 years ago. Our study was influential in the later conclusion that most of the matter in the universe is dark.<a href="https://pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/article/59/12/8/387114/Seeing-dark-matter-in-the-Andromeda-galaxy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/article/59/12/8/387114/Seeing-dark-matter-in-the-Andromeda-galaxy</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophysics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/womeninStem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#womeninStem</a>

💓~eva~💓it's funny because it's not just a cartoon making a point, but very literally the majority of every interview I've had in tech sectors.
