Born in 1928, Vera Rubin set her sights on Princeton, but they wouldn’t accept female grad students in astronomy. So she earned her master’s from Cornell & PhD from Georgetown.
In 1965, Rubin became the 1st woman allowed to observe at the Palomar Observatory. She went on to find evidence for the existence of dark matter.
In 1993, Rubin was awarded the National Medal of Science. But curiously, she was not awarded a Nobel Prize. themarginalian.org/2016/04/18/… #HistoryRemix #science #space #history

What's Up in August? Saturn reaches opposition, meaning it's at its biggest and brightest for the year. The "shooting stars" of the Perseid meteors are a must-see overnight on August 12-13. And August brings two full moons. solarsystem.nasa.gov/skywatchi…

Our new Perspective is out in Nature Microbiology today. It covers some common/emerging myths and misconceptions in the human #microbiome field, and explains why they are likely incorrect: nature.com/articles/s41564-023…
A hopefully helpful primer against uncritical repetition.

#Tecnoafecciones Las empresas emplean estrategias de diseño para que los aparatos tecnológicos no duren lo que deberían.
Con la obsolescencia programada los productos tienen una vida útil limitada. Así, el consumo perpetuo de les usuaries genera más beneficios... a las empresas.
La "cultura de usar y tirar" fomenta una economía lineal que perpetúa la generación de residuos, y además, por sus componentes, son altamente contaminantes para el ambiente‼️

Over the weekend I got to test #FluidX3D on the world's largest #HPC #GPU server, #GigaIOSuperNODE. Here is one of the largest #CFD simulations ever, the Concorde for 1 second at 300km/h landing speed. 40 *Billion* cells resolution. 33 hours runtime on 32 AMD Instinct #MI210 with a total 2TB VRAM.

#LBM compute was 29 hours for 67k timesteps at 2976×8936×1489 (12.4mm)³ cells, plus 4h for rendering 5×600 4K frames.

The Concorde sim also was a test of the newly implemented free-slip boundaries, a more accurate model for the turbulent boundary layer than no-slip boundaries.
