Do I know anyone in North West Texas (Lubbock or nearby) who want to adopt a dog? My colleagues are moving aboard for two years and can't take theirs with.

So this @bshsnews.bsky.social panel title, 'Cool Brittania, Warm Science,' is a reference the 2002 book 'Cold War, Hot Science,' a bit of inside baseball that I didn't pick up, despite citing that book repeatedly in my manuscript #histsci

Fun fact that should interest MY followers: Achille Ratti was an avid mountaineer, was the first to ascend several peaks, even wrote a book, "Climbs on Alpine Peaks," before becoming Pius XI in 1922. He was also an academic; an expert paleographer, a historian, and the prefect of the Vatican Library

So I look forward to seeing some think-pieces on how today's news connects to the history of women and exploration!

This event is widely celebrated in the Antarctic community, but @morganseag.bsky.social addressed this event at length in her thesis. It is pretty easy to see how this event framed as a victory for women, wasn't really that at all, if you dug beneath the surface at all

The press covered it like a PR stunt as well, transforming Dr. Jones's efforts to be treated like the serious scientist that she was, into some kind of feminist victory-facilitated by the Navy

It turned a serious scientific request into a publicity stunt for the Navy, that woman had infiltrated even the South Pole. They were instructed to link arms coming off the aircraft, so there could be no "first woman"; instead there were first women-as if they represented woman kind

When geochemist Lois Jones requested a routine fly-over of her field site on one of the daily flights between McMurdo and the South Pole, the US Navy realized she would be the first woman to visit there, and scrambled to get all available women to join, making it a PR event
