Throughout history, women have been instrumental in major discoveries and important research that forms the basis of what we currently know about the universe. But, these important women were often erased from these iconic milestones in history, in favour of crediting their superiors or male colleagues.

What’s more relaxing than the dulcet tones of a symphony orchestra? While you’d be more accustomed to hearing this chorus of strings and woodwinds in a large hall with spectacular acoustics, your television or laptop will make a fine substitution while we’re keeping safe at home.
