2. 2. I'M TALKING ABOUT... ASTRONOMY: Jocelyn Bell Annie Jump Cannon ENGINEERING: Lillian Moller
3. 3. ASTRONOMY Astronomy is a natural which is the study of celestial objects the physics, chemestry, and evolution of such objects, and phenomena that originate outside the athmosphere of Earth. Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences.
4. 4. JOCELYN BELL(1943) She was born in Northern Ireland.she discovered the first radio pulsars while studying and advised by her thesis supervisor Anthony Hewish. The paper announcing the discovery of pulsars had five authors. Hewish's name was listed first, Bell's second. Hewish was awarded the Nobel Prize, along with Martin Ryle, without the inclusion of Bell as a co-recipient. Jocelyn Bell Burnell has led a very interesting and impressive life. She has gone beyond in education where tests said she could not go and has believed in herself and her work from the beginning. She was presented at a young age with failure, but surprised the world with her intelligence. Jocelyn Bell Burnell is a great example for people to look up to and see that your dreams can come true if you only believe in yourself.
5. 5. ANNIE JUMP CANNON(1863-1941) She was born in Dover (Delaware).Cannon took her mother's advice and pursued her love of astronomy. There are claims this hearing loss made it difficult for her to socialize, resulting in Cannon immersing herself in her work. She never married or had children. She discovered hundreds of variable stars and devised a unique system of classification that became the universal standard, in which she listed hundreds of thousands of stars. Cannon received honorary degrees from the University of Delaware.Cannon was also the first woman to hold an officer position in the American Astronomical Society. She died on April 13, 1941, in Cambridge, Massachusetts
6. 6. ENGINEERING Engineering is the application of scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to invent, design and improve structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and proceses. The discipline of engineering is extremely broad.
7. 7. LILLIAN MOLLER(1878) She was born in California (USA). She was educated at home until she was nine years old, when her formal schooling began at a public elementary school, where she was required to start from the first grade. Lillian Moller combined the perspectives of an engineer, a psychologist, a wife, and a mother; she helped industrial engineers see the importance of the psychological dimensions of work Lillian Gilbreth was the mother of modern management. Together with her husband Frank, she pioneered industrial management techniques still in use today. She was one of the first "superwomen" to combine a career with her home life. During her career, Gilbreth received numerous awards and honors. Finally, she died in Phoenix(1972).
