#OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.
In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's using it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.
@CarveHerName@Tinido All‘n all, the science system has been a misogynous scam for most of its history, and in many parts it still is. And what happened to Burnell should be framed not as „disadvantaged woman“ but as outright fraud by the gangster scientists who stole her merits.
