Black-and-white historical portrait of Constance Tipper, the pioneering English metallurgist and crystallographer. She is gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. Tipper has short, neatly styled dark hair parted on the side with soft waves framing her face. She wears a patterned blouse or dress with a high collar, evoking early-to-mid-20th-century professional women's attire. The soft lighting highlights her determined features against a plain, neutral background, capturing her as a trailblazing scientist whose work on brittle fracture revolutionized materials engineering and saved lives during and after World War II.
Metallurgist Constance Tipper was born #OTD in 1894.
Her groundbreaking work on the brittle fracture of metals saved countless lives during #WWII & laid foundational principles for modern fracture mechanics. First female FT faculty member at Cambridge Dept of Engineering (1949). #WomenInSTEM (1/2)

However, two caveats: 1.) any break should be income-based, and 2.) if school systems use it as an excuse to cut ed. programs, then a resounding "no."
