Madame Curie - discovered two elements (radium and polonium) and was awarded Nobel prizes in physics and chemistry for her work, later going on to invent mobile X-ray vehicles that were used to find bullets and shrapnel in a roughly one million soldiers in World War I.
Lise Meitner - though nominated 38 occasions for a Nobel in chemistry and physics, never won, despite discovering the process of nuclear fission (along with her nephew Otto Frisch)
VIA: Generation Atomic
So I guess you could say itβs the βmetal of manβ
I believe that they might have not worked jointly, but they discovered aspects of atomic fission though I believe that Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch both coined the term 'fission'. What happened?
I'm reading right now "The Calculating Stars" by Mary Robinette Kowal - an alternative history in which a meteorite hits the earth in 1952 and escalates efforts in the space program. The center of the book is a mathematician (also a PhD in physics) who was a WASP in WWII and works for their equivalent of NASA, and is agitating to let women into the astronaut program. I'm only halfway through, but I'm thinking it's a good bet she succeeds by the end? She confronts politics, gender, race, and religion all very matter-of-factly. A fantastic novel for advocates for women in STEM. Anyway, I've enjoyed your cards, thank you!
Tales of Beacon is an area for people to RP with one other person or a group of people in a setting of their choice.
Inspired by the episode Tales of Ba Sing Se (from Avatar), it is meant for users to RP with one another in certain settings that do not warrant an entire event being made because most likely, not many other people would be getting involved. Everything that happens in these events are still considered canon so it is not an area for people to just goof off in, and we do not want you to rotate to the newest ToB when it comes out if your thread is currently taking place in the last one.
It's to make users feel like they arenβt just trapped in the settings that people make for general events. However, it should also be noted that you must call out the people you plan to interact with in the beginning of the thread using /u/username .
