To quote the Sea Captain “Argghh , I don’t know what I’m doing…”
NASA"If she says they're good, then I am ready to go."
Before his 1962 orbital flight, John Glenn was wary of trusting his life to a machine's trajectory calculations and asked that Katherine Johnson check them. #BHM

Melanie StefanUS friends, take note. I went to vote in Berlin today and this was the line in front of the polling station. “But wait! There is no line!” Indeed. There is no line because there need not be one. Because it’s about how polling is organised. If you are standing in a line for hours in order to exercise your democratic rights, it’s because someone wants you to.#polling #democracy #righttovote
Qasim Rashid, Esq.I just booked my flight to Turkey for earthquake relief with Humanity First USA.
28,000+ are dead and more are dying. We need to act. I'll be on the ground. Help me raise $100,000 for Turkish & Syrian relief. $5 or $5000 — every bit helps. We need you. Donate & retoot. ❤️✊🏽 https://fundraise.humanityfirst.org/fundraiser/4441555?is_new=true

blaineI am forever grateful to him for building & popularizing Mastodon, but I don't think @Gargron should be working on features at all right now.
Instead, he and the Mastodon non-profit (and a whole bunch of others) should be figuring out governance for collectively making decisions about Mastodon. Features in the Fediverse shouldn't be up to one guy, or even one company.
That's the whole point of the Fediverse. We do this together, or not at all.

Extinction of Indigenous languages leads to loss of exclusive knowledge about medicinal plants
A study at the University of Zurich in Switzerland shows that a large proportion of existing medicinal plant knowledge is linked to threatened indigenous languages. In a regional study on the Amazon, New Guinea and North America, researchers concluded that 75% of medicinal plant uses are known in only one language.
Sheril KirshenbaumFission is in the news, but few recognize that a woman physicist was behind the discovery.
Lise Meitner’s brilliance led to the discovery of nuclear fission. But her long time collaborator Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry w/o her in 1944, even though she had given the first theoretical explanation.
Albert Einstein called Meitner “our Marie Curie." She also adamantly refused to work on the atomic bomb during WWII. https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201502/physicshistory.cfm #women #history #science #HistoryRemix
