You might be interested in Mary Anning. She made some amazing fossil finds, discovered a common characteristic between ancient belemnites and modern cephalopods, and was considered an expert in fossils and in ancient anatomy. As a woman she wasn’t allowed to join the scientific societies that dominated the field and dictated who could publish so her findings were very often not credited to her. A few years ago though she was named one of the 10 most influential female British scientists.
She had an amazing life, well worth a quick google!
I’m really excited for this podcast. I’m three in now. Thanks for taking the time to coordinate the guests and put together the narrative. This has got to be a ton of work.
