About

PROXIMA is an ever-evolving Christmas gift started back in 2021— a science fiction story created by R. Galvez with early generative AI tools. Four years later, it continues on as a living document of how quickly the tech is evolving.

As tribute, the heroines of PROXIMA are named after real women scientists whose groundbreaking discoveries were diminished or ignored because of their gender.

Vera Rubin

1928 – 2016

→ Vera of Proxima (Part I)

Discovered evidence for dark matter by studying galaxy rotation curves. Despite this universe-altering discovery, she was never awarded the Nobel Prize. She spent her career mentoring young scientists and advocating for women in physics.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin

1900 – 1979

→ Cecilia Sol (Part II)

In 1925, her doctoral thesis proposed that stars are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. Her male supervisor discouraged publication, then published the finding himself four years later. She quite literally discovered what stars are made of.
