I keep meaning to add, because no one seems to mention it: both Annie Jump Cannon and Henrietta Swan Leavitt were both Deaf.
I feel like it’s important to acknowledge that part of their histories, because I don’t often see folks talking about disability history wrt science stuffs (without having to look for it), and it’s even more rare to see it wrt women in science.

They were very adamant when this episode was in production that Annie Jump Cannon should have a deaf voice actor and ended up hiring Marlee Matlin for the role.
