Historian of science Margaret Rossiter (d #OTD in 2025) coined the term #MatildaEffect (1993). Named after suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage, the Matilda Effect describes a systemic bias where women's scientific achievements are ignored, minimized, or directly attributed to their male colleagues. 1/3

A black-and-white photograph of the pathbreaking American historian of science, Margaret Walsh Rossiter (1944–2025), renowned for coining "the Matilda effect" and documenting the buried history of women in science. Seated in an indoor setting with a soft, blurred background, Rossiter is positioned from the waist up, facing forward with a warm, open smile. She has short, curly gray hair and wears dark, thick-rimmed glasses. She's wearing a light-colored, long-sleeved shirt patterned entirely with small, dark polka dots. She holds a heavy, open book resting on her lap or desk, her left hand steadying the right-hand pages while her right hand rests on the left-hand pages, lightly gripping a pencil. The overall composition is intimate and studious, casting her as an approachable yet deeply focused scholar. The mood is intellectually vibrant and welcoming, reflecting a life dedicated to uncovering the truth.

Replies and quote tweets of this are informative about a certain range of attitudes indicating some people are very angry that women in Edinburgh have a single sex service set up in addition to the ERCC service which did not guarantee such services for users.

It was preposterous that amnesty characterised a trauma informed service to support women who have been subject to sexual and domestic violence as anti rights. There was an impact on service users and this shows an impact on staff. No wonder those involved were and remain so angry

Rained out today. That's OK. I relaxed and made this short vid of the ICF to remember my 2026 visits so far. It starts with the portrait I donated, a Blue Crane, and shows one click for every species of crane in the world. They are all being conserved and protected at ICF. #birds #ICF

Es gibt auch die Möglichkeit, Bücher so zu scannen, dass sie erhalten bleiben. Aber das ist aufwendig und teuer. Nur um der Metapher noch eins draufzusetzen...

Jonas Vogt@l4ndvogt.bsky.social · last wk.

Dass AI-Firmen still Warenhäuser voller alter Bücher (darunter solche, von denen es nur mehr wenige Exemplare gibt) ankaufen, scannen u danach unwiederbringlich zerstören, um damit ihr kommerzielles Produkt zu füttern, ist so drüber. Es klingt wie eine schlechte Metapher, passiert aber aktuell real.

Die Gräben in der Schweiz sind genauso sauber ausgemäht wie in Deutschland. Für die Biodiversität eine Katastrophe, erst recht bei Früh- und Hochsommermahd. Die sekundäre Mortalität durch Besonnung könnte hier die primäre Mortalität durch Mahd sogar noch übersteigen.

French botanist Jeanne Baret was the first-known woman to circumnavigate the globe. + Disguised as a male assistant named "Jean" to bypass naval law + Faced extreme physical labor & safety threats for 2 years at sea + Completed loop around the Earth, returning to France in 1775 #WomenInSTEM (1/2)🧵

A colored historical illustration depicts French botanist Jeanne Baret (1740–1807), the first-known woman to circumnavigate the globe, disguised in the masculine attire she wore during Louis-Antoine de Bougainville’s expedition. Positioned centrally in a full-length, vertical composition against a sparse, open landscape under a muted sky, she looks off to the left with a subtle, resolute expression. She is dressed in a short blue jacket over a striped cream-and-yellow shirt and loose, matching striped trousers, bound at the waist by a wide brown sash. A vibrant red Phrygian-style cap tightly covers her hair. In her right hand, she securely cradles a bundle of harvested field grass and wild plants, while her left arm extends slightly outward to balance her casual stance. The overall composition blends a calm, historical mood with scientific purpose, visually documenting the courageous defiance of naval laws that allowed her to collect thousands of uncharted global plant specimens.

"Bei jedem fünften Empfänger fehlt der Arbeitswille komplett." Framing ist alles, hier mal wieder denkbar beschissen gesetzt vom Focus. Solche Hedalines produzieren nichts als Hass&Häme. Teilnehmende der Studie waren 365 Langzeitarbeitslose im SGB-II-Bezug mit gesundheitlichen und komplexen 1/2

A stunning morning in Staffordshire monitoring one of our most spectacular birds of prey. 🦅 Three healthy Hobby chicks, all looking in fantastic condition. A real privilege to monitor these incredible birds, with hopes of including them in a future colour-ringing project.
