    This is Katie Bouman. She’s the person responsible for the first ever image of a black hole. Let’s make sure she gets the recognition Rosalind Franklin never did.

    BBC News - 'I was the only girl in A-level electronics' What an inspiration! I think the moral of this story is, if you want to do something don’t let any one tell you you can’t.

    Incredible work from . The black hole image we've seen everywhere was rendered by an algorithm that she began writing as a graduate student!

    Hey - how are you calling her ‘Ms. Bouman’ in the same sentence you’re describing her as a postdoc at MIT and an Assistant Professor at Caltech? That’s Dr. Bouman, please and thank you.

    The black hole image we see today we can thank Katie Bouman for! A champion for Women in STEM!

    Computer scientist Katie Bouman and her awesome stack of hard drives for image data 😍 — reminds me of Margaret Hamilton and her Apollo Guidance Computer source code. 👩🏽‍🔬

    In California, you'd need a catalog upwards of 500-yrs long to estimate the true rate; in the Himalaya, you might need a catalog 3000-5000 yrs long. Needless to say, earthquake catalogs don't come close to meeting the bar. And we won't talk about intraplate regions
