Emmy Noether (1882–1935) was a German mathematician who made important


contributions to abstract algebra. Described by Einstein as the most important
woman in the history of mathematics, she proved Noether's first and second
theorems, fundamental in mathematical physics. Noether's first theorem explains the
connection between symmetry and conservation laws. She also developed theories of
rings, fields, and algebras. Born to a Jewish family in Erlangen; her work in
Germany, principally at Göttingen University, came at a time when women were
largely excluded from academia there. In 1933, Germany's Nazi government dismissed
Jews from university positions, and Noether moved to the U.S., teaching at Bryn
Mawr College and at the Institute for Advanced Study. Noether was generous with her
ideas and is credited with several lines of research published by others, even in
fields far removed from her main work, such as algebraic topology. (Full

Sabella pavonina
Sabella pavonina, commonly known as the peacock worm, is a species of marine
polychaete worm in the family Sabellidae. It can be found along the coasts of
western Europe and the Mediterranean Sea, in shallow, tidal waters with a bed of
mud, sand or gravel. The worm is 10 to 25 centimetres (4 to 10 inches) in length,
with its body divided into 100 to 600 small segments. The head has two fans of 8 to
45 feathery radioles arising from fleshy, semi-circular lobes. The body is mostly
grey-green while the radioles are brown, red or purple with darker bands. This
group of S. pavonina worms was photographed with a short-snouted seahorse in a
protected marine natural area near Porto Cesareo, Italy.
