Margaret W. Rossiter, 81, Dies; Wrote Women Scientists Into History

Saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Rossiter, who told the stories of the many forgotten and underappreciated women of science.

Like many women of her generation, she survived academia by developing a tough exterior, but her support for jr women, myself included, was unwavering.

RIP, Margaret.

There is only learning to carry it differently.

Be patient with those still finding their way 💛

The ruins of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, stuck by lightning October 31st, 1939.

This as you may recognize is a maintenance service elevator. Ironically it was under maintenance and not in service.
