Biography

Scientific paper

In 1955 a slender and vivacious girl answering to the name of "Beetle" announced her determination to be an astrophysicist. It was an extraordinary decision for anyone to make in 1955, let alone a young girl of 14, but Beatrice Hill, later Tinsley, was no ordinary girl. A gifted musician and linguist, she was an outstanding "all rounder" academically, yet she chose to work in this abstruse and difficult field. In her short life (she died of cancer at 40), Beatrice's brilliant work on stellar and galactic evolution became a corner stone of modern cosmology.
