On 18 June 1983, Sally Ride at 32 became the first American woman to go to space and the youngest American astronaut. Onboard the Challenger, she was the first woman to operate the robotics arm. She was the first known LGBT astronaut. Video from the National Women's History Museum. 🔭 🧪 #HistSci

During #WW1, Marie Curie created a vehicle that contained a hospital bed, generator, X-ray machine & photographic darkroom equipment. These “petite Curies" (below) could be driven right up to the Front. Curie trained 150 women as radiology technicians. #histmed #skystorians #histsci

A VICTORIAN MERMAN Objects like this were often made from the torsos of monkeys and the tails of fish. They were displayed by showmen like P. T Barnum to audiences who believed they were real. This particular one is on display at the Horniman Museum, London. #skystorians #histmed #histsci
A strange looking creature with a fish tail and animal-like arms with claws. The head looks a bit human, with no hair and sharp teeth.

Marie Curie's notebooks are still radioactive & must be kept in a lead-lined box. If you visit the Pierre & Marie Curie Collection at the Bibliotheque Nationale in France, many of her personal items—from her furniture to cookbooks—require protective clothing to be safely handled. #histsci

Einstein's blackboard, which was preserved after his 2nd lecture at Oxford University on May 16, 1931. Its equations connect the age, density and size of the universe. After the lecture, the blackboard was taken directly to the History of Science Museum, where it is on display today. #histsci

Today is the feast day of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), here surrounded by plants & a mineral she touted as medical treatments, her invented alphabet & model of the universe. One of my most popular prints this year! 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬 #histsci #histmed Her writings preserve not only her own knowledge & 🧵
This is my hand-printed 11" x 14" lino block print of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), surrounded by plants and a mineral she touted as medical treatments, her invented alphabet and model of the universe, on lovely ivory Japanese washi paper. She is printed in dark blue on cream coloured washi paper. She is dressed in a habit holding a scroll with one of her Gregorian chants in Medieval musical notation. Her model of the universe is depicted on her habit. Clockwise from the top, she is surrounded: by tansy; common comfrey (Symphytum officinale) is sometimes used on the skin to treat wounds and reduce inflammation from sprains and broken bones, it roots and leaves contain allantoin, a substance that helps new skin cells grow, along with other substances that reduce inflammation and keep skin healthy; mandrake (species in the genus Mandragora, either Mandragora officinarum or Mandragora autumnalis) which contain deliriant hallucinogenic tropane alkaloids which are poisonous; sulfur for skin ailments does indeed act as a fungicide; lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) which has been shown to have some calming effects, some antibacterial properties and positive effects on indigestion; and quince (Cydonia oblonga), which while understudied, there is some early evidence that it may help prevent stomach ulcers. Above and below Hildegard is the alphabet along with her own alternate alphabet Litterae ignotae which she used for her own Lingua ignota (Unknown Language).
