Here are a few links for your enjoyment.
- The New York Times has a nice story about how an engineer and devoted father invented the sippy cup in the 80s because he hated cleaning up spills.
- The best way to teach kids about math and science? Zombies. (I knew it!)
- You won’t believe how insanely detailed this guy’s fictional maps are. [A Wired article].
- Before Sabermetrics, there was the Complete Handbook of Baseball: a NYT article about a sports statistician
- When doing a little googling to prepare for a talk I am giving for the Women in Engineering luncheon at CASE 2013, I revisited a post by Anna Nagurney on being an advocate for female researchers. Embedded in the post is a link to a white paper about the difference between mentors and advocates. This is a real gem and should be read by men and women.
- I love the bard! If Shakespeare wrote Star Wars:
- Leia: Darth Vader, only thou couldst be so bold.
When first my ship was under siege, I knew
‘Twas thee who have this peaceful vessel sack’d.
- Leia: Darth Vader, only thou couldst be so bold.
- I can’t resist tetris references. This adorable Safety Endangered comic strip made my day a little brighter:
