Mrs. Johnson‘s scientific contributions to the success of NASA was immeasurable! She lived a long and productive life as a scientist, though seeking attention and applause for it was secondary to the actual love for her role in it and her dedication to NASA. A true hero who lived to be 101.

My husband read The Code Breaker & loved it. Of course for me it‘s a #TBR
The graphic novel of Hilma of Klint is wonderful!
#WomenInScience "At no moment in history has a bright young girl with plenty of food and a good constitution perished from too much learning." Inspired by 19th c. journals from women studying evolution & botany, Gilbert creates Alma Wittaker, whose journey both spiritual & physical, leads to unique discoveries about mosses in Tahiti. Yes, EG makes this informative, exciting, & fascinating! Really! #NewYearNewBooks @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

The January pick for #SheSaid is all about #WomenInScience. The tale of the women Harvard College University hired in the mid-nineteenth century to calculate, interpret & catalogue observation of the stars on glass photographic plates (the glass universe refers to the over 500,000 plates amassed.) They discovered stars, created classification systems & altered the course of astronomy mostly w/o much of the credit they deserved.
“Courage is the root of change—and change is what we‘re chemically designed to do.”
