I was fortunate that at a time when there were virtually no women "hard science" faculty, that Dr. Wu encouraged me not to give up. No longer formally practicing geophysics or engineering, I still use my education every day as technology is the basis for how we all live and work.

I miss the card catalogues in #libraries. The #librarian's notes were invaluable. Algorithms are worthless compared to the wisdom of humans who know how to #read and #think.

I have been a fan of Mr. Rogers since he was a puppeteer on Children's Corner with Josie Carey on #Pittsburgh's educational television channel. I remember many of the songs. "Tomorrow", This has been such a day", "Chrysanthemum", "Propel, your craft".
