4 May 1843: #MaryAnning writes to Cambridge geologist Adam Sedgwick with details and prices of fossils for sale, including 3 ichthyosaurs. Sedgwick bought 2 of them, a skull for £4 and a skeleton that she had drawn in her letter for £20. Both are still in the Sedgwick Museum in Cambridge.
Sketch of an ichthyosaurus skeleton by Mary Anning included in her letter to Adam Sedgwick. Photograph of the ichthyosaur skull mentioned in Anning's letter and purchased by Sedgwick.

Gertrude K. Blanch (2. Februar 1897 - 1. Januar 1996).

Sie war eine russisch-amerikanische Mathematikerin, mit Beiträgen zur Numerische Mathematik.

Sie machte 1935 ihren PhD an der Cornell University.

Ab 1938 war sie technische Leiterin beim Mathematical Tables Project.

Das zweite Bild ist ein formales Schwarz-Weiß-Porträt einer Person (Gertrude Blanch) mit kurz geschnittenem, weich gewelltem Haar. Die Kleidung wirkt historisch oder zumindest klassisch: ein dunkles Oberteil mit hohem Kragen, das den Hals bedeckt und den Blick auf das Gesicht lenkt. Die Person schaut leicht an der Kamera vorbei, was dem Bild eine nachdenkliche, fast melancholische Stimmung verleiht. Der Hintergrund ist weich verschwommen, wodurch die Gesichtszüge und die Frisur besonders hervorgehoben werden.

So who was credited with the discovery - her husband? Or another male relative?

Ever heard of Eunice Foote, born today in 1819?

An incredible woman -scientist, inventor, & women's rights campaigner

Significantly, Foote was the first to show that rising CO2 levels could increase atmospheric temperature and affect climate, although rarely credited for this discovery

#MarieCurie is probably the only female scientist that most people can name off the top of their heads. There are so many more that should be recognized.

#OTD in 1903, Marie Curie--the legendary Polish-French physicist & chemist--defended her doctoral thesis on radioactive substances at the U. de la Sorbonnes becoming the first woman in France to earn a doctorate in #physics.

She won Nobel Prize in Physics (1903) & in Chemistry (1911).

A black-and-white photograph of Polish-French physicist and chemist Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867–1934), the first person to win two Nobel Prizes. She sits sideways on a simple wooden chair, leaning her left elbow juust off the backrest with her hand supporting her chin. Her expression is intense, serious, and deeply contemplative, with dark hair loosely swept up. She wears a dark, long-sleeved dress with voluminous fabric gathering at the shoulders, typical of the late 19th or early 20th century. To her right, a long wooden worktable stretches across the room, cluttered with laboratory apparatus, including a vertical brass instrument, glass bottles, and jars. The background reveals a room with large paneled windows and a door, suggesting a makeshift or academic laboratory setting. The composition focuses heavily on Curie's powerful gaze, evoking an introspective, solemn mood that speaks to her monumental sacrifices and historic dedication to the study of radioactivity.

“I wish you would never say anything—to anybody—about my writing, that is if these stories are accepted and published. It injures the reputation of a medical student to be supposed to be engaged in such frivolities." — Mary Putnam to her mother, 1868 #WomenofScience #plusçachange

Why does it matter that we know about women in science? When I was growing up the only female scientist I knew of was Marie Curie. I thought she was the only female scientist. We cannot let another generation grow up with this misconception.
