Always spoken the truth in my books? And now
You treat me like a liar! I order you:
Burn me!"
Bertolt Brecht - #BOTD - in response to the Nazi book burnings.

Creighton Tull Chaney, known as Lon Chaney, Jr., was born on 10 February 1906. I choose to keep some of the lesser films he made at arm's length irrespective of the reasons he appeared in them. I think of "The Wolf Man" and "Of Mice and Men" and a fine supporting role in "The Defiant Ones."

I believe Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell features on a wall display especially dedicated to “Women in Science“ at Armagh Planetarium. 🪐
Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell (1943-) is a Northern Irish physicist who, while conducting research for her doctorate, discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967. This discovery earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974, but not to her - the prize was awarded to her (male) supervisor. #CelebratingWomen
