Happy birthday to #geologist & #paleontogist Alice Wilson (1881-1964).⁠

A job in the Mineralogy Division of the U of Toronto Museum was her entry into #geology. In 1909 as a museum assistant with Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), in Ottawa, she catalogued & labelled invertebrate paleontology collections. After completing her BSc in ‘11 she was 1st woman offered a position at GSC & 1st female geologist in #Canada.
