Meet FDC Williard, the first #cat to publish, with some help from his owner, serious physics papers.
@sjvn I was *certain* that we studied a paper by a cat in grad school, but, turns out, it was this one! https://www.science.org/content/article/cat-co-authored-influential-physics-paper
A cat co-authored an influential physics paper

In 1975, Jack Hetherington and F.D.C. Willard published a paper together in Physical Review Letters. The paper is an influential view into atomic behavior and has been cited multiple times, but only one of its authors is human...

@rbowen @sjvn
Such an amazing story!
@badnetmask @rbowen @sjvn It’s ironic for a cat to be credited with a physics paper when the laws of physics clearly don’t apply to cats.
@sjvn Figures Jack would get up to something like this. :)
