Scottish scientist Mary Somervillehas been
celebrated with a Google Doodleon the anniversary
of one of her most groundbreaking achievements. On 2 February 1826, an experimental physics paper by Somerville was read by the Royal Society of London – the UK’s prestigious national academy of sciences. It would become the first paper by a female author to be published in the world’s oldest science publication, _Philosophical Transactions_, which remains active to this day.

Her work revolutionised the understanding of the solar system at the time and helped astronomer John Couch Adams to discover the planetNeptune .

Somerville, a vocal advocate for equal rights, was also the first person to sign a petition for female suffrage by John Stuart Mill in1868.

Camille Claudel: The French sculptor who broke moulds for women in art Her 1834 book _The Connection of the Physical Sciences_ became one of the best-selling science books of the 19th century and revealed the links between different disciplines of physical science. Somerville’s work inspired one reviewer to first coin the word “scientist” to describe her multidisciplinary approach. In 1829, Sir David Brewster, the inventor of the kaleidoscope, wrote that Somerville was “certainly the most extraordinary woman inEurope”.

In 2016, the UK’s Institute of Physics introduced the Mary Somerville Medal and Prize for scientists who engage the publicthrough their work.
She was also featured on the Royal Bank of Scotland’s polymer
10 note in 2017, alongside a quote from her best-selling book. “It is fitting that our most advanced note yet will carry her portrait,” Ross McEwan, then-RBS chief executive, said, in reference to security features on the note which made them difficult tocounterfeit.
