The fourth issue of The Cascadia Subduction Zone is out and available here. This is our first special issue, on Women and Science, and is 28 pages (instead of the usual 24). I'd have liked to have announced it on Ada Lovelace Day, but that just didn't work out.

The image above is Jennifer Mondfrans' "Henrietta models a distant galaxy," a portrait of astronomer Henrietta Swann Leavitt (1868-1961). In her career at Harvard College Observatory, she discovered more than 2,400 variable stars. She saw a direct correlation between the time it took a star to go from bright to dim and the star's actual brightness. Knowing this relationship helped other astronomers, such as Edwin Hubble, make their own groundbreaking discoveries.
