Infuriatingly, I'm currently reading Up by Lucy Rogers (which is lovely) and only now learning that Joan Feynman (that surname may ring a bell) made significant advances to our understanding of aurora and solar winds

I have 'Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman' on my bookshelf and the index has just a single reference to her as a child.
Feels like that achievement should have been more prominent.
