Saddened to hear of the death, aged 99, of Hillhead boy, Stanley Baxter, but what a run!

From BBC Children's Hour to the Five Past Eight Shows, pantomime to Parliamo Glasgow, global TV fame to his later BBC Radio plays, Stan was the man.

Two people use virtual-reality headsets in a space-themed exhibition. A woman in a black outfit stands smiling while lifting a VR headset from her eyes, holding a controller in her other hand. Behind her is a wooden display unit with a screen showing an image of Earth from space. To the right, a man wearing a teal shirt sits inside a large circular window structure designed to look like a spacecraft cupola, with a projected view of Earth below.

Marie Curie was one of the very few women to ever receive the Freedom of the City of Glasgow (Curie and Elaine C Smith are the only two women who weren't royals or gentry to get this honour). There's a signed copy of her doctoral thesis in @uofglasgow.bsky.social library
rcpsgheritage.bsky.social RCPSG Heritage @rcpsgheritage.bsky.social · Nov 7
Marie Curie was born #OnThisDay 1867.

Madame Curie visited Glasgow in 1929, being hosted by Professor Archibald Young and Mrs Anna Young.

Here is a photo of Irene Curie, Madame Curie, and Mrs Young enjoying the fresh Scottish air at Loch Fyne 😅

Black and white photo showing three women standing in front of a rock face. The women are wrapped up in big coats and don't look particularly thrilled to be out in the fresh Scottish air!
