Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Five yrs ago today in my role as head of Voter Protection for Biden-Harris in Phila, at right about this moment, I was reaching out to our team to figure out who could sneak into a hastily-called press conference by Rudy Giuliani at the Four Seasons Hotel ... and then, what, it's going to be where??

10 Years After the Paris Climate Agreement, Here's Where We Are Has anything really changed in the decade since the Paris Agreement was reached? Actually, quite a lot.

Hatch act? Never heard of it?!

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Two medium-sized orange pumpkins. One carved with almond-shaped villain eyes and a big toothy grin and the other with round eyes and round mouth with little fangs, and eyebrows indicating surprise and fear. Both lit up with red lights inside.

Happy Halloween!

Love it!!!

Perhaps the one issue is the way communities engage in raising children to be good citizens. When I was a kid I can remember a few moments when strangers in line or at the library corrected my behavior. We often ignore misbehaving kids in public and maybe we shouldn’t???

Why 536 was ‘the worst year to be alive' Glacier cores reveal Icelandic volcano that plunged Europe into darkness

Cold comfort I know, but interesting!

Dame Patricia Routledge has left us at the age of 96. Although she won a Tony for Darling of the Day, none of her Broadway credits were successes. Luckily, her performance in the legendary Central Park production of The Pirates of Penzance was taped for posterity.
