This photo of Dr Bouman deserves to be one of the classic images in physics. Amazing to capture the first glimpse. Such a genuine response

Congratulations to Katie Bouman to whom we owe the first photograph of a black hole ever. Not seeing her name circulate nearly enough in the press.
Amazing work. And hereβs to more women in science (getting their credit and being remembered in history) π₯π₯βοΈ

This is Andrew Chael. He wrote 850,000 of the 900,000 lines of code that were written in the historic black-hole image algorithm!

@moonman She herself said it was a "team effort", as opposed to this social media soundbite-thought that she was The Person.
There was a link to an article. I'll try to dig it up again.

@moonman Not the article, but someone said "Dr. Bouman led the team that developed the CHIRP algorithm, which (as I understand it) cleans and deconvolves the image despite the extremely sparse UV coverage."
@moonman @johnnynull this is what he says about it: https://twitter.com/thisgreyspirit/status/1116518551291158528
I'd say it looks like this was a group effort as most big projects are, she got somewhat unfairly singled out but she's trying to tell the media it was a group effort. He's not gonna dump on his coworker and probably friend just to score points with pepeists.

@lain
maybe it will take a time for him go full damore
@johnnynull @moonman
@johnnynull @moonman why should he care so much? They worked on it as a team and got a great result. The media wants to spin some story so they can have nice headlines, but this will be over in a week. Bouman can't control what newspapers print, either.
@moonman @johnnynull this is very true

I have to make a statement:
This picture is genuinely adorable.
And I absolutely love it. π
