At 14, Mary Fairfax (later Mary Somerville) studied algebra & mathematics, defying her father’s wishes.

Eventually, she began experimenting & writing about #science. Her interests spanned fields from astronomy to chemistry to physics. Mary published articles & books & is now celebrated as a mathematician, scientist & writer.

Along with Caroline Herschel (see earlier #HistoryRemix post), she became one of the first 2 honorary members of the Royal Astronomical Society. https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/PT.3.3817

Don't you love it when you finish one book and another you've had on hold becomes available at the same time! I've been looking forward to starting this one for awhile.

Hey folks, I could use some help :-)

I'm inventing a niche thing:

- a beginner-friendly string #orchestra

- based in #Nottingham, England

- for people who want to be careful about not catching #covid.

I need to find my people!

- Are you a fan of covid-careful events, who'd like to encourage me in this mission?

- Might you even know someone who'd like to play in the orchestra?

New orchestra account is here:

Boosts appreciated :-)
