I enjoyed the pictures so much, I missed the blog post link, and originally asked some questions which were already answered there. Thanks for sharing details in your blog post!
How is scanning these different than other film photography you've done?
"Christopher Nolan's #Oppenheimer explores the work of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer & colleagues to create the atomic bomb.
Yet, the film fails to depict a key part of the story, using 2 female scientists as stand-ins for ALL of the women who contributed."
Hundreds of women were essential to the Manhattan Project, including Nobel Prize winning physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer. But they are largely absent in the #film.

I believe Nolan made an effort to depict them. It might have been a difficult job.
Here's an article from LLNL about Lilli Hornig. In the article she talks about being isolated from her peers.
