The Royal Society’s lost women scientists @ The Observer…
A study of the Royal Society’s archives reveals that women played a far more important role in the development and dissemination of science than had previously been thought, says Richard Holmes…
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

No poop Sherlock! Time for a little history of the discussions of the time, the lab assistants, wives and enthusiasts who had to stand on the sidelines because the guys had to get the credit.
It’s like the lone inventor mythology. First to publish and all that rot. The supposed discoverer usually had a lot of other people who brought things to a culmination. Even someone as terminally shy as Cavendish had outside influences to poke and prod him into a general direction and train of thought.
