@mythologyandhistory@mas.to On the other hand, every single physicist knows this. When I was getting my PhD in the late 70s/early 80s, this was part of the folklore: how Hewish didn't believe Bell, then took over when it got good and cut her out. Every single time she came to give a talk, somebody was there to explain the folklore, in a positive way for her. And every time Hewish came around, somebody was there to explain the folklore in a negative way. Sort of like a "whisper network". Yes, it's not enough. It's not even much. It most certainly does not repair the injustice. But every single grad student in my cohort knew Jocelyn Bell and Tony Hewish, and why she was better.
