Fission is in the news, but few recognize that a woman physicist was behind the discovery.

Lise Meitner’s brilliance led to the discovery of nuclear fission. But her long time collaborator Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry w/o her in 1944, even though she had given the first theoretical explanation.

Albert Einstein called Meitner “our Marie Curie." She also adamantly refused to work on the atomic bomb during WWII. https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201502/physicshistory.cfm #women #history #science #HistoryRemix

@majordopolis That’s remarkable! I sure wish the Pacific Northwest had discovered that. Imagine what the Redwoods would be like today if we had taken that path?

@btaroli @actuallyautistic @simid I’m a bit older than you and when I was growing up I never heard of Autism. The autistic children were either known as “retarded” or “the bad kids”. They were relegated to “other” classrooms. This is an example of how we didn't understand the difficulties & differences in people. And, I’m glad we now know more & better.

@simid @btaroli @actuallyautistic My neighbor moved here to Southern California from Hawaii. She said she was astonished at how many social services are available here. She said Hawaii was a great place to live if you didn’t need help but CA has turned her & her children’s lives around. I guess it really does take a village.

@sal Maybe I should rephrase that. Not all parents of autistic children are heroes. Those who were enlightened or are autistic themselves, those who make an effort to understand and nurture their children (that applies to all parents) are heroes. It’s easy to be an asshole. It takes effort not to be.

@btaroli @actuallyautistic Parents of Autistic children are actual heroes. Ther is no training, no preparation, just learning on the job. My next door neighbor has 3 daughters who are on the spectrum. One severely, one moderately and the 3rd mildly. It’s a wonder to watch the mother (single) do the job on her own. Her patience is phenomenal! I wish you the same and the best in dealing with your family.
