王贞仪老师 Wáng Zhēnyí Laoshí 王貞儀老师 (1768–1797) – Our Logo/Avatar, was a scientist of the Qing dynasty who breached feudal customs of the old China which hindered women's rights and worked to educate herself in astronomy, mathematics, and geography. In her twenties, we know she took up poetry, as well, for the suffering of the Chinese peasants weighed on her. "Village is empty of cooking smoke, Rich families let grains stored decay; In wormwood strewed pitiful starved bodies, Greedy officials yet push the farm levy." Also this poem on the role of women in society, " It’s made to believe, Women are same as Men; Are you not convinced, Daughters can also be heroic?” ©M42 Orion Nebula from the balcony, Dr. Kenneth M Beck: 15 second exposure ISO 16,000, f/10 FL2350mm.
Bell Science Hour from 1958. Yes, this is the one. The one that puts forward the ideas of using nuclear weapons on Hudson Bay to save humanity. The one that say global warming could be happening, after 3 years research on the island of Hawai’i – and humans are doing it!
But in 1958, “There’s time left,” as the host says. Not so in 2021.
