I haven’t exactly been up to date with science news like that of the gravitational waves detection, the news of it has been all over but this is the first headline title I see that focuses on the woman who help made the discovery.. I’m sure folks reading about it probably knew but I didn’t know a woman help made this recent discovery possible because I keep seeing articles and features on Albert Einstein and how he predicted them or lengthy quotes on how Laurence Krauss beat off to em at night. That’s wild how misogyny in science continues to try and snub the props from women literally like they did to Mileva Maric when they pushed her name out any contributions she had on Einstein’s work.. shit just keep repeating itself. the Pakistani scientist who played a major role in detecting the waves name’s Professor Nergis Mavalvala.

can i please direct y’alls attention to the fact that she also identifies as queer and is very open and proud of it!!!

like please be my space mom 😩
