#OnThisDay, 28 Nov 1967, PhD student Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers the existence of pulsars.
Not included in the 1974 Nobel prize for the discovery, Bell received a £3m prize for her work in 2018. She's using it to set up a foundation to improve diversity in STEM.
We learned about Jocelyn Bell in my astronomy class in college (this was back in the 90s). My professor told us the story of her being excluded, how everyone on that team got it except her ... and said people referred to the prize that year as the No-Bell prize.
If he's still walking the earth I'm sure he's very pleased that she finally got the recognition she deserved, albeit very late.
