Happy Hangul Day! It's a Korean holiday honoring the best and easiest alphabet in the world! Everyone in Korea gets the day off work to contemplate it, but it only takes fifteen minutes to learn! So today, learn to read Korean in 15 minutes!

So sad to hear that the iconic, trailblazing, Apollo 11 moon landing software engineering lead, Margaret Hamilton, is no longer with us. Love this image of her, standing next to a print out of the software that landed Buzz Aldrin and Neil Amstrong on the moon! 👩‍🔬🔭🛰️🧪 ℹ️: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Post a perfect album from the 1990s

Trailblazing aviator Mary Wallace, or "Wally" Funk, has died. In the early 1960s, she was among the "Mercury 13," a privately funded effort intended to train women to fly in space.

Historian of science Margaret Rossiter (b #OTD in 1944) coined the term #MatildaEffect (1993). Named after suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage, the Matilda Effect describes a systemic bias where women's scientific achievements are ignored, minimized, or directly attributed to their male colleagues. 1/3

Family reunion, elephant style. Three ex-orphans came home to our Voi stockades in January, each with a wild-born calf alongside her. Edie. Mweya. Arruba. All rescued from Tsavo years ago, all now mothers in the wild. But like kids who've flown the nest, they still pop round to raid the fridge.
