It’s also an opportunity to get to know the lives and work of some of the key women who have overcome prejudice and exclusion to make significant contributions to our field. We only include a representative selection of living women astronomers about whom non-technical material at the level of beginning astronomy students is easily available. Lack of inclusion in this introductory list is not meant to suggest any less importance. We also don’t include Wikipedia articles, although those are sometimes a good place for students to begin. Suggestions for additional non-technical listings are most welcome.

    Jocelyn Bell Burnell President of the Royal Astronomical Society 2002 to 2004 President of the Institute of Physics 2008 to 2010 Elected Pro-Chancellor of the University of Dublin 2013 Elected President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh 2014 B.S University of Glasgow (1965) Ph.D., Radio Astronomy, University of Cambridge (1968) Biography Jocelyn Bell Burnell was born in 1943 in Northern Ireland to Allison and Phillip Bell. She discovered her passion for astronomy early in life through books. At Lurgan College, she began her higher education but was restricted from studying science due to her gender. At the time, women were not allowed to study science at the school. Her parents were committed to the education of their daughter so when Jocelyn was unable to pass the entrance examine for continuing education her parents sent her to a Quaker boarding school. At the age of 22, she graduated from the University of Glasgow with a degree in Physics and then went on to earn her doctorate at the University of Cambridge. Presently she is working as a visiting Professor or Astrophysics at the University of Oxford. Research Jocelyn Bell Brunell’s groundbreaking research began during her time at Cambridge. She was involved in the development of a radio telescope to track quasars and after its completion became the telescope operator in charge of analyzing data collected. It was during this time that she discovered an anomaly in the data, which led her to the discovery of pulsars. This discovery lead to the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to the lead researcher Antony Hewish along with Marti Ryle.

    I NTERNAT I ONAL J OURNAL OF H I G H - E NERGY P H YS I CS CERNCOURIER WELCOME V OLUME 5 8 N UMBER 9 N O V EMBER 2 0 1 8 CERN Courier – digital edition Welcome to the digital edition of the November 2018 issue of CERN Courier. Physics through Explaining the strong interaction was one of the great challenges facing theoretical physicists in the 1960s. Though the correct solution, quantum photography chromodynamics, would not turn up until early the next decade, previous attempts had at least two major unintended consequences. One is electroweak theory, elucidated by Steven Weinberg in 1967 when he realised that the massless rho meson of his proposed SU(2)xSU(2) gauge theory was the photon of electromagnetism. Another, unleashed in July 1968 by Gabriele Veneziano, is string theory. Veneziano, a 26-year-old visitor in the CERN theory division at the time, was trying “hopelessly” to copy the successful model of quantum electrodynamics to the strong force when he came across the idea – via a formula called the Euler beta function – that hadrons could be described in terms of strings. Though not immediately appreciated, his 1968 paper marked the beginning of string theory, which, as Veneziano describes 50 years later, continues to beguile physicists. This issue of CERN Courier also explores an equally beguiling idea, quantum computing, in addition to a PET scanner for clinical and fundamental-physics applications, the internationally renowned Beamline for Schools competition, and the growing links between high-power lasers (the subject of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics) and particle physics.
