Christine Darden paved the way for many women engineers. She started off as one of NASA’s “human computers” and went on to lead the Sonic Boom Group to help make supersonic planes quieter. Read more about Darden’s life work here: bit.ly/2KQZ4zz

Word of the day is 'sequaciousness' (17th century): the blinkered, unreasoning, and slavish following of another, no matter where it leads.

My wish is that ‘respair’ will emerge from the forgotten pages of the dictionary and be on everyone’s lips in 2021: it means fresh hope and a recovery from despair. Happy New Year x

Word of every Christmas Day, even this one, is the beautiful ‘confelicity’: joy in the happiness of others.
I hope you get to feel some confelicity today, if only from afar.
Merry Christmas.

Word of the day (on repeat) is the 17th-century ‘latibulate’: to hide oneself in a corner in an attempt to avoid reality.

A shimmery #ChristmasCard sent out by then @UAW president Walter Reuther in 1950, from his papers at the @ReutherLibrary.
If you thought 2020 had lots of anxiety, this card begins with a message of atomic fear. Luckily, it nails the landing with some hope and goodwill. 🕯️❄️
ALT Christmas card decorated with green, red, and gold candles, and glittery snowflakes, sent out by Walter P. Reuther for the the 1950-1951 holiday season. It reads, "Atomic bombs - aggression - the hour is late; stem the mounting tide of fear, war and hate. United in Freedom's cause, we must not cease the search for Brotherhood, Justice and Peace. Sound clear the call, men of goodwill in every land, open your hears, extend your hand. Together - work, fight, hope and pray for a better world, a better day." Undersigned, "Walter P. Reuther".

Dr. Grace Murray Hopper really, really didn’t want to be called “Ms.”
“Now that I have a Doctor of Engineering in addition to PhD and Commander, I can thoroughly bop over the head anyone who dares to try to call me Ms!” - @SWEtalk @ReutherLibrary #WomenInSTEM
