Today’s marginalized chemist🧪: Elizabeth Fulhame, a Scottish(?) researcher (1790s) who described catalysis before it was even named, and studied photochemistry in textile-dyeing. She commented harshly on misogyny in science. pubs.aip.org/physicstoday...

Had a cheeky wee day in ScotlandsPeople last week, mostly trawling the prison registers. Found my grandfather convicted of an overcrowded dwelling house in 1888. 3 days in Barlinnie or 5 shillings. Looks as though he did the time. #GenHour

I was doing the planning for an essay when I thought to myself “let’s get the founding dates for as many schools as I can”, so I did, and then I thought “cool let’s plot em on a map, so I did. So here’s a map of schools founded between 1559 (lighter) and 1665 (darker) because why not.
