I was today years old when I realised that the glass ceiling is called that because it’s invisible to *men*, not because it’s invisible to *everyone*.
I feel so silly for that penny taking a decade or two to drop for me
Footnote: Referencing men here b/c of the context in which “glass ceiling” was first coined, but obviously glass ceilings are invisible wherever there’s privilege.

Happy birthday to #entomologist Margaret Fountaine (1862-1940), here in my #linocut with many #butterflies from her collection.
Her posthumous books featured her “wild and fearless life,” but she was also a trailblazing famous #Victorian #lepidopterist, published in The Entomologist’s Record and Journal of Variations, expert on tropical butterflies, discovering, documenting, breeding & gathering 🧵

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🪸🔈 Healthy #coral reefs produce a symphony of #sounds that #fish and other marine organisms use to navigate.
#Solar powered speakers now play these soundscapes for 14 hours a day to attract life to struggling #ecosystems. The Great Barrier Reef experiment helped double fish populations in 6 weeks.

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: ❄️🧊 #Antarctica looks empty from above, but researchers find signs of #history and life hidden deep beneath the #ice.
Cleo Abram talks with scientists about subglacial #lakes and ice cores that act as a frozen timeline of our #atmosphere. The remote environments could help us understand how life might survive on icy moons like #Jupiter's #Europa.

Happy birthday to x-ray #crystallographer Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin (née Crowfoot, 1910-1994), Nobel laureate in #chemistry for her models of biomolecules like penicillin, vitamin B12 & insulin.
She was “captured for life by chemistry and crystals,” in childhood, 1 of 2 girls allowed to study chemistry rather than domestic science at her school with a small lab in her attic. On her 16th birthday her mother gave her 🧵1/
