#6 Read a book written by someone underrepresented in science #Sciamreading #SciAmSummerReading
#2 Go where your books take you (aka read outside) A very appropriate book to read outside. (tbh, I actually listened to the audiobook, walking to and from work) #Sciamreading #SciAmSummerReading

On International Women's Day, I have been celebrating by editing an article focusing on pioneering South African paleobotanist Edna Plumstead, whose work on plant fossils was critical to the acceptance of continental drift theory and who, of course, also worked with Antarctic rocks #histsci #IWD2026
Oooo they pulled these out at BSHS last summer for the behind the scenes tour!
TIL "Arsenic and Old Lace" is a metaphor for the US's struggle to reconcile its historical violence with the pervasive myths about its role as a beacon of freedom
