@QasimRashid oh the hypocrisy… really concerns me that these people who clearly don’t understand common sense, nevermind something like the complex economy, have any power at all
Sheril KirshenbaumI bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?
Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.
Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.
Leavitt’s work is still used today. Next time you hear about famous men in #science share her story. #HistoryRemix

@ZLabe while this seems like some obviously more bad news about the climate, is there any positive takeaway from the fact that it’s only 9th lowest and higher than 2010’s average? Or is this more attributable to just common year to year variations?
@asociologist can’t say I’m surprised but thank you for sharing this article
