	The Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded in 1974 for the discovery of pulsars to Antony Hewish and Martin Ryle, with the omission of her name on the award. This lead to anger and outrage from the scientific community as they though this was unfair. Bell Burnell though, felt the prize was properly awarded, as she was only a student at the time of the discovery. It should be noted that gender discrimination may have been a contributing factor to her not receiving the award. Bell Burnell commented that: "It is an awful waste of time and energy to be grieving over something that you can’t do anything about,” regarding the controversy.

			After graduating from the University of Cambridge, Bell Burnell went on to work on the Ariel 5 satellite, at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory at the University College London, which was launched in 1974 in order to study X-ray astronomy.

			Among her many accomplishments, she became the first female president of the Institute of Physics.

	~~Be sure~~ to ~~show all steps in your solution~~ and ~~include diagrams whenever possible~~		Bell Burnell is of the Quaker faith, she advocates the idea that faith and science can coexist. She believes that it is part of the Quaker faith to become closer to God, and her way of becoming closer to God is by observing his creations through science.

	At the University of		At the University of Cambridge, she spent two years building a 81.5-megahertz radio telescope that was designed to track quasars. Her job was to operate the telescope and analyze the data produced by it (120 meters of chart paper produced every four days). It was during this time that she noticed unusual pulses that was the first evidence of a pulsar. She consulted her advisor Antony Hewish, and they spent months monitoring and studying these pulses. It was then determined that they were indeed pulsars.
