note-a-bear:thejunglenook:sci-universe:A toast to these great astronomers!Read about Annie Jump Cannon, Henrietta Swan Leavitt, and Cecilia Payne-GaposchkinWine and honoring women in science.Cosmos doing science education right.I keep meaning to add, because no one seems to mention it: both Annie Jump Cannon and Henrietta Swan Leavitt were both Deaf.I feel like it’s important to acknowledge that part of their histories, because I don’t often see folks talking about disability history wrt science stuffs (without having to look for it), and it’s even more rare to see it wrt women in science. -- source link
