No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

NYT - A video on the cellphone of a paramedic who was found along with 14 other aid workers in a Gaza mass grave, shows ambulances and fire truck that they were traveling in were clearly marked and had their emergency lights on when Israeli troops fired on them.

Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On
The U.N. has said Israel killed the workers. The video appears to contradict Israel’s version of events, which said the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals.

I used magic loop for my first sock and DPNs for my second, and DPNs went much better for me. I like the fit of my socks, but I wasn't a fan of picking up stitches in every row -- so I might not do this construction again either.
