At *no point* should Dr Katie Bouman ever feel bad, or worse, be told to feel bad, for being celebrated for the #EHTblackhole image. Any scientist can be celebrated for their contribution anytime. Katie is the face of global celebration on that day and rightfully so #womeninSTEMM

In 2019 we got to see what a #BlackHole looks like thanks to female scientists like Katie Bouman.
Congratulations again to her & to all the women involved in the #EHTBlackHole success!
This is why we need more #WomenInScience, because more diversity = better science! 👩🏿🏫👩🏻🔬👩🏽🚀👩🏼🏭👩🏾💻

As some of my Irish friends did not seem to appreciate the joke that their beautiful country will be sucked in next, here’s the Ireland-friendly version. (Weirdly enough nobody misses the Faroe Islands?) #Brexit #May #Bercow #JohnBercow #realblackhole #EHTBlackHole #BlackHole 🇮🇪
