Who invented non-reflective glass? American physicist & chemist Katharine Burr Blodgett in 1938. It revolutionized optics--& led to the coatings used today in everything from eyeglasses to phone screens. She was the first woman to earn a PhD in #physics from Cambridge, 1926. #WomenInSTEM #inventor
Black-and-white 1950s photograph of physicist Katharine Burr Blodgett in her General Electric laboratory. Seated at a desk, she wears glasses and a striped short-sleeved blouse, holding a ruler and examining papers with focused intensity. Shelves of bottles and equipment line the background — the workspace of the woman who invented non-reflective glass.Side-by-side demonstration of Katharine Burr Blodgett's 1938 invention: non-reflective glass. Left: three colorful yarn balls (red, blue, yellow) are clearly visible through coated glass with no glare. Right: the same balls appear blurred and distorted by reflections through ordinary clear glass. A powerful visual proof of the invisible coating that revolutionized lenses, windows, and screens.

Transient lung eosinophilia during breakthrough influenza infection in vaccinated mice is associated with protective and balanced Type 1/2 immune responses - PubMed
Our findings reveal that eosinophilic recruitment during influenza breakthrough infection is non-pathological and represents a balanced immune response, distinct from highly inflammatory environments seen in primary influenza infection or allergic sensitization. We observed eosinophil enrichment in …
