impressive and elegant. The diagram was included in books on data visualization and was used in the iconic design of Joy Division’s ‘Unknown Pleasures’ album.⁠

Jocelyn Bell Burnell has gone on to a very distinguished career in astrophysics. She became the first female president of the Institute of #Physics and of the Royal Society of Edinburg. She helped set up the UK Athena Swan #womenInSTEM programme. 🧵4/5

Happy birthday to brilliant trailblazing US #geologist & prof Florence Bascom (1862-1945) who championed women’s education, & used polarizing microscopes for detailed petrographic analysis to show that rocks previously identified as sedimentary were in fact metamorphosed volcanic rocks she called aporhyolite (implying a change in rhyolite, a silica rich igneous rock, as in her thin sections like the ones in my print). 🧵

Happy birthday to #astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt (1868-1921) who set the scale of our Universe. My portrait of Leavitt is printed in silvery lavender ink on Japanese kozo (or mulberry paper). Behind her is a line showing stellar luminosity (capital L with subscript sun-symbol, a circle with a dot) as a function of time (t). She is printed over constellations in gold (Cepheus, Cassiopeia, Draco, 🧵

Happy birthday to #physicist Harriet Brooks (1876 - 1933) who discovered atomic recoil, Radon & recognized radioactive elements could undergo chains of transmutations into a series of new elements. #nuclear #physics

She was Rutherford’s 1st grad student at McGill. After publishing her results in 1899 she completed her MSc in 1901 on “Damping of Electrical Oscillations,” before embarking on #radioactivity research.⁠ 🧵

Liebe Schülerinnen, Eltern und (Physik-)Lehrer*innen: Bei uns am Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik in #Garching bei #München wird am 25.7. ein tolles Event "Girls for Science" stattfinden! Schülerinnen ab 15 Jahren können einen Einblick in die Wissenschaft (mit Fokus auf Quantenwissenschaft) bekommen und inspirierende Forscherinnen treffen sowie ihre Geschichten hören!
Meldet euch gerne an, und teilt das mit allen, die ihr kennt :)

Our #astrodon server is nearing its end of life, so I decided to move closer to my roots, and found my new home in swiss.social ❤️

A little #introduction:

I'm a #Swiss mountain girl who ended up studying #physics, pursued a #PhD in #astronomy, which I just recently defended!

I'll also be moving physically closer to home soon: In October, I’ll be starting a #fellowship at @esoastronomy in #Germany 💙

Follow me for posts on #astronomy, #womeninstem, and #swissinscience and much more ...
