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 youtu.be/UVrORjy7PDk

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. 🕯️❄️
