A Century Ago, Pioneering Astrophysicist Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin Showed Us What Stars Are Made Of

The trailblazing Harvard scientist, who documented the dominance of hydrogen and helium in stars, is still inspiring researchers today

Photograph of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (1900-1979) at Harvard College Observatory Local number: SIA Acc. 90-105 [SIA2009-1326] Taken during the early to mid-20th century, the image portrays Payne-Gaposchkin in a thoughtful pose, dressed in a modest sweater, with natural light softly illuminating her face. In the background, shelves and filing cabinets filled with papers and scientific documents suggest an academic setting deeply immersed in research and discovery.

I've just reviewed Csaba Szabo's ''Unreliable: Bias, Fraud, and the Reproducibility Crisis in Biomedical Research'.

It's a tour-de-force through how most biomedicine research results are impossible to reproduce, how the field is corrupted by fraud, and what some real scientists are doing to counter all of this.

The book cover: grey background with black, orange, yellow parts that look kind of like biomedicine stuff. I've got no idea what this actually is! I'm not a biomedicine person.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 218.

Although written nearly 40 years ago,
Lois McMaster Bujold's Falling Free (1988) seems incredibly timely; dealing with an uprising among genetically modified slave workers, Bujold's sci-fi novel deals with callous corporations, workers' exploitation & toxic management, all presented in a breezy & fluid style; its a great read & wears its politics pretty openly. Highly recommended!

Para #QuartaCapa cujo tema é "capas bonitas", trago "Hellraiser" (Clive Barker), na edição brasileira da editora DarkSide Books. Não sou fã do gênero, mas é daqueles livros que compraria só pela capa.

Menções honrosas: "Valis" (Philip K. Dick) numa antiga edição da Aleph que imitava a caixa de um remédio tarja preta; Trilogia Alien com ilustrações metalizadas (Tim Lebbon e James A. Moore) da editora Leya; A religião nos limites da simples razão (Immanuel Kant) da editora Lafonte, que traz um coração formado por trilhas de placa de circuito e um chip/processador no centro.
