Astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell was born OTD in 1943. As a Cambridge grad student in 1967, she discovered an entirely new type of celestial object: Pulsars! In 1974 the Nobel was given to her advisor; she was left off. Photo: National Science & Media Museum / Science & Society Picture Library

Black and white photo of Jocelyn Bell Burrell, when she was a graduate student, holding a printout on a roll of paper and standing in front of a large radio dish. She is wearing a coat and glasses, smiling and looking toward the camera.

I remember you introducing me to Jocelyn Bell Burnell last year or the year before - what a smile on her, what eyes! I wish she'd gotten the recognition she deserved, and I wish she and I could be friends :)

Is any of this shit being remedied retroactively? I mean... all well and good to have it pointed out for the record... But the Nobel people - presumably they now KNOW the facts... So -

She’s darn cool. I have the necklace and earrings of a basic-data-representation of her work from Dissent Pins - dissentpins.com/products/jocelyn-be… - I have no personal/fiscal interest but proceeds go toward Black Girls Code and other good orgs.
