Edmund Halley yes but you also stood side by side with some of us.
Richard Bentley and we corresponded about your work when I lectured on Newtonian physics.

www.derby.ac.ukwww.derby.ac.uk/icegs Why do researchers use social media?I think social media made me a better researcher because I find stuff out a lot quicker. I now have a network of individuals I respect and am confident in their work. The network discovers and filters and discusses. I have connected my research to the real world in a way that would not have been so easy before and maybe not possible. For curriculum development and teaching this has connected with real issues that interest and engage students and has helped them become student researchers in their own right with a broader and more critical take on issues.
