Chemist and educator St. Elmo Brady was born #OTD in 1884. He was the first Black American to receive a PhD in Chemistry (University of Illinois, 1916). Brady worked on organic acids, IR spectroscopy, and halogen compounds, and significantly expanded chem programs at four HBCUs. 🧪 (1/n)

Someone told me yesterday that irregular galaxies deserve love as much as spiral galaxies, so here is some love for one of them! 🔭 This is NGC-3448, an irregular galaxy located some 75 million light-years away. It has been observed by Hubble this morning, so this is some kind of hot data!

Heya peeps. I would like to know some of the most impactful books you have read. Some of mine are Everything I Need to know I Learned in Kindergarten, Where the Red Fern Grows, Stranger in a Strange Land, everything from Mercedes Lackey and David Eddings, the books from she-who-must-not-be-named.

Got my new glasses today. Switched back to thin metal frames from thick plastic. Been so long since I had plastic frames that I forgot how much I hate them.

Your V-Day reminder. Lots of disabled folks risk losing their benefits, health care, and income if they choose to get married. Especially if the person they are marrying is not also disabled. It's a gross inequality and needs to change. cdrnys.org/blog/disabil...
