Eddie Bernice Johnson died on Dec 31, 2023. She was the first registered nurse elected to Congress & the first African American woman elected from Dallas. She was the chair of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
She was a champion of federal #OpenAccess policies. See e.g. the letter she wrote with Frank Lukas to Arati Prabhakar, Alondra Nelson's successor, who took on responsibility for implementing the #OSTPMemo (aka #NelsonMemo).
