I didn't expect a podcast from my favorite @IAMKP introducing me to the work by @AnnieRoseex which ended up in our new exhibit with the Cincy Observatory to help give a wider context to the work and social setting of women's experiences in the Observatory's long history.
Anne Lorbach Herget even named an asteroid herself: (1661) Granule A916 FA. Come visit the Cincinnati Observatory to learn more about the women who helped build and operate the first public observatory in the US.

I'm at council's Equitable Growth and Housing Committee, where council is considering historic designation for Hoffman School in Evanston. Developer Chinedum Ndukwe wants to demolish the school, built by Hannaford and Sons in 1922, to build about 100 units of mixed-income housing
Gonna pile on toxic white men for 20-some minutes while bolstering a madame from the 1850s. Don't miss Stand-Up History this Wednesday at 7 at Muse Cafe!
