I was up early today to give a second year lecture on electromagnetism... I try to highlight historical scientists but one thing that bothers me is that most of the scientists we talk about in first/second year physics are men.
Scientists like Faraday, Gauss, Maxwell (some people I've talked about this term) did amazing work! And it's great to highlight where the equations come from, but I also want to make sure that female students can see themselves in physics, past present & future.
I think last year teaching electromagnetism the only female scientist I mentioned was Emmy Noether, an incredible theoretical physicist (though some would argue her work is too advanced for second year undergrads): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmy_Noet…
But I would love to include more female scientists when I teach, and I'm open to suggestions!
