The Scientist Who First Theorized That Earth Had an Inner Core. Oh, and the scientist was a woman.

Inge Lehmann 

Google posted a doodle in honor of the birthday of Inge Lehman, who theorized the existence of the Earth's inner core. She. Was. Awesome.

I don't want to discount her amazing findings and life work, but I am very annoyed that we have to celebrate women who were brilliant scientists, theorists, whateverists. I am annoyed because there should be many women in the sciences. So many that we do not have to point it out. Let's get the girls started on the sciences early and nurture their abilities. 

My pal Sophia Yen is a co-founder of SheHeroes, an organization that provides videos of accomplished women in STEM. Check it out.

From Wikipedia:

Inge Lehmann ForMemRS (May 13, 1888 – February 21, 1993) was a Danish seismologist and geophysicist who postulated the existence of an Earth's inner core.[2][3] In 1936, she theorized from existing seismic data an inner core with physical properties distinct from the outer core's and that Earth's core is not a single molten sphere. Seismologists, who had not been able to propose a workable hypothesis for the observation that the P-wave created by earthquakes slowed down when it reached certain areas of the inner Earth, quickly accepted her conclusion.

This kneading cats do before they get comfortable (including the circular walk before laying down) is baffling. One of the theories is that they are recalling pressing on their mothers' to increase milk production. Which just goes to show that we all, animals and humans alike, have patterns of behavior that help comfort ourselves.

Regardless it's damn cute.

Here's famous Maru & Hana kneading bread. Of course, Maru sleeps where he's most comfortable. I won't spoil the ending.

It was NEVER a dress

According to the website:

It Was Never a Dress is an invitation to shift perceptions and assumptions about women and the audacious, sensitive, and powerful gestures they make every single day. In science, technology, arts, mathematics, politics, houses of worship, on the streets, and in our homes, insightful women are often uninvited, overlooked, or just plain dismissed. Through storytelling, community building, innovation and creative disruptions, It Was Never a Dress will foster necessary conversations, vital voices, and images from around the world that honor ALL women. When we see women differently… we see the world differently! Stay tuned and keep disrupting.

ROCK ON!
