Nettie Stevens...

· In the early 1900s, Nettie Stevens quietly upended what science thought it knew about how life begins. Working in a time when women in laboratories were rare, she studied mealworms under her microscope and noticed something extraordinary—males had one large chromosome and one smaller one, while females had two large chromosomes. It was a meticulous, painstaking observation, but it unlocked a truth no one had proven before: sex was determined by specific chromosomes, later named X and Y. Her discovery should have been a career-defining triumph. Instead, much of the recognition went to her male colleague, Thomas Hunt Morgan, whose reputation and influence in the scientific community helped overshadow her work. Stevens, who had trained relentlessly and built her research from the ground up, was left on the margins of her own achievement. She never lived to see her name fully restored to the discovery—she died of breast cancer at just 50—but her findings remain one of the most important milestones in genetics. Even if history tried to tuck her away in a footnote, her work still reshaped how we understand life itself. And that is a legacy no one can erase. --- From "She's So Cool".

A Fashionable Limp...

While it might seem outlandish, a popular trend in Victorian London was for women to fake a limp. Called the “Alexandra limp,” it was named after Alexandra, Princess of Wales, who was married to Queen Victoria‘s son, King Edward VII. Alexandra developed a limp after suffering from a bout of rheumatic fever. Given the popularity of the royal family, women were eager to copy the princess. This was accomplished by wearing mismatched shoes, and the trend became so popular shoemakers started to produce footwear with this purpose in mind.

When Animal Teeth Were Used In Human Dentures (???!!!) :O

While dentures today are made from acrylic resin, they were constructed with a rather unusual item back in the Victorian Era: mammal teeth. A range of animals were used, with the most popular being the hippopotamus, as its molars were large enough to be shaped into the proper size and shape of human teeth. Dentures have been made from a variety of materials over the years. The Etruscans of northern Italy used human teeth fastened together with gold bands, while the Japanese would use wood. The first porcelain dentures were invented around 1770 by Alexis Duchâteau, and served as an early model for modern styles.
