Today's doodle honours Dr. Laura Bassi, Italian physicist, the first woman to be awarded a degree [View all]
in science, the second to be awarded a Doctorate of philosophy (Ph. D). The doodle today references the date on which she successfully defended her 39 theses to earn her degree.
I hope you will take a few minutes to read the biography of this remarkable, incredibly talented woman. Hers is quite a story of overcoming sexism and misogyny.
