The Nobel Prize Snub That Shook Science

Imagine discovering a mysterious signal from space, jokingly calling it 'little green men,' and then watching your adviser win the Nobel Prize for it while you get sidelined. That’s what happened to Jocelyn Bell Burnell in 1967 when she found pulsars—one of astronomy’s biggest breakthroughs. The media went wild, but she got hit with sexist questions and no Nobel. Decades later, she finally got recognition and donated her prize money to help others in science. Talk about a plot twist! #Science #ScienceHistory #WomenInSTEM
