Shackleton of the British Antarctic Survey was acquired by the Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale (National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics) on 9 May 2019, and was renamed Laura Bassi. On 17 April 2021, Google showed a Doodle celebrating Bassi and her many achievements. Published works Owing to her administrative duties, family problems and frequent diseases during childbirth, Bassi published only a few works, which reflect a small fraction of her contributions to the University of Bologna. Her scientific works were best summed up in Domenico Piani's treatise Catalogo dei Lavori dell'Antica Accademia, raccolti sotto i singoli autori, published in 1852. Her published works were: De acqua corpore naturali elemento aliorum corporum parte universi (Concerning bodies of water as natural elements of other parts of the universe, a collection of theses for university appointment, was published in 1732) Four works that appeared in De Bononiensi Scientiarum et Artium Instituto atque Academia Commentarii (Commentaries of the Bologna Institute and the Academy of Arts and Sciences), namely De aeris compressione (Concerning air pressure, 1745) De problemate quodam hydrometrico (Concerning certain problems in hydrometrics, 1757) De problemate quodam mechanico (Concerning certain problems in mechanics, 1757) De immixto fluidis aere (Concerning intermixed gaseous fluid, posthumously published in 1792) See also Isaac Newton Luisa de Medrano Maria Gaetana Agnesi Maria Pellegrina Amoretti Maria Skłodowska-Curie Sophia Elisabet Brenner Timeline of women in science References Further reading Marta Cavazza, Laura Bassi, in A.
