TIL The term “scientist” was coined in the 1830s to describe Mary Somerville. A woman. Because the usual term “man of science” didn’t apply and she wasn’t just a physicist, geologist, or chemist - she was all three.

I will now be referring to all men who do science as male scientists. All scientists are female unless indicated otherwise
