Anyone for a cuppa? ā ā£

A mid-century icon, the story of the Teasmade (an automatic tea-maker and alarm clock) goes back over 100 years.ā£
ā£
Throughout the 19th century, the UKās tea consumption increased and tea became affordable to even the poorest.ā£
ā£
Since the turn of the 20th century, Britain has remained one of the worldās most voracious per-capita consumers of tea.ā£
ā£
By the end of the 1930s, two-thirds of British homes had electricity, which meant an automatic cup of tea no longer involved sleeping next to an open flame. Automatic tea-makers became āTeasmadesā, made accessible by the new electricity supply.ā£
ā£
Despite its former popularity, by 1980 the classic Teasmade was on its way out. The machineās appearance in one of most iconic music videos was perhaps a signal of its downfall, with 'I Want to Break Free' mocking a number of old-fashioned domestic stereotypes.ā£

The landmark BBC TV drama Edge of Darkness by creative screenwriter Troy Kennedy Martin, became a gritty but nuanced thriller, exploring many powerful themes that dominated cultural and political life in the early 1980ās - from the secrecy of the nuclear state, to the hopes and fears unleashed by the growing tide of global environmentalism.
Back in October on BBC Radio 4, Science Museum curator Dr Tilly Blyth explored how the spiritual and scientific inspiration that gives the drama its much lauded mythical quality arises from the Gaia hypothesis by maverick scientist James Lovelock.

Imagine Britain on the eve of the Industrial Revolutionāindustry is exploding as the factory system whirs into action, mineral mines power thundering new technologies and thousands of people flock to cities for the first time.
The country is on the cusp of changes that will shape the world we know todayābut long-distance freight is still carried by road or canal and there is no way faster than horseback to move people between the new urban centres. Something has to change.
How did engineers and industrialists set about finding a solution? What were their ideas, and did they succeed? And why is Rocket the name we remember today?

Sir William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg were a father-son team of Nobel Laureates that shared revolutionary views on women in science!
And today, we celebrate the birthday of son William Lawrence Bragg, born 1890.
The duoās work on X-ray crystallography transformed science and our ability to āseeā atoms. They developed X-ray photographs of crystals which revealed how their atoms were arranged and from there, were able to construct three-dimensional models or diagrams of atomic structures.
The Braggās also encouraged women to take up X-ray crystallography at a time when science was male-dominated, and among William Braggās 18 research students, 11 were female.

Happy Birthday to Caroline Herschel, born 1750 š« ā£
ā£
Herschel was the first woman in England to be paid for her work in science. ā£
ā£
With an initial passion for music, the renaissance woman later turned her focus to astronomy, and went on to discover eight comets as well as compiling catalogues of stars and nebulae š«ā£
ā£
Her work is often overshadowed by that of her brother William Herschel who discovered Uranus, however her immense contributions to astronomy were recognised by the Royal Astronomical Society earning her the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society - the Society's highest honour. ā£
Albert Einstein was born in 1879.
He is best known to the general public for his massāenergy equivalence formula E=mc^2, which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation".
