The two relics of exploding stars are black holes and neutron stars.
Both were discovered by women.
Jocelyn Bell discovered neutron stars, in the guise of “pulsars”, in 1967.
Since then, three Nobel prizes have gone to male scientists for their work on pulsars, but none to Bell.

Breakthrough blood test finally confirms Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A team of scientists has developed a highly accurate blood test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The test reads tiny DNA patterns that reveal the biological signature of the illness. For millions who’ve faced doubt and misdiagnosis, it’s a breakthrough that finally validates their experience — and may help diagnose long Covid too.
