#OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.
In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

Aaron Straup Cope | Keynote Speech FACT Symposium
I was delighted to watch this Keynote address from my former colleague and long time pal, Aaron Straup Cope. In it he makes a number of nice references to the projects we worked on together and the things I worked on after he and Seb Chan left the team at Cooper Hewitt.
It’s been 15 years since and I’m amazed at how the work is still talked about across the sector. I’m really proud of that work and reflecting these days, I’m glad we did the things we did and in the way we did them, even when they wound up looking like “expensive mistakes.”
This talk is worth your time if you care about cultural heritage, museums, and the internet. It’s especially relevant today as we are continually asked to bear witness to the possible undoing of hundreds of years of American democracy!

Latest comic: What's the point of an economy that no longer serves the interests of human beings?
#labor #workers #economy #oligarchy #technology #automation #uspol #uspolitics #plutocracy
I was in high school when they first said that computers could teach kids - at least, for arithmetic drill. In the 50 years since, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were really sure that computers would transform education.
Nope.
Notice that the lords of AI are NOT claiming they can replace that job? No fewer elementary school teachers?
It's because that's one area of human work where the KNOW they will fail. Again.
Kudos to The Verge for having the fortitude to speak plainly and decisively, instead of crouching underneath a faux "impartiality."
