It's rare I'll finish an unabridged audiobook and really wasn't expecting to enjoy this, but found it informative and insightful and stuck with it to the end. #Neurodiversity #STEM #ComputingHistory #BillGates

In 1999, we decorated our son's bedroom to look like we imagined the interior of the international space station, with 2x1m 'windows' showing views outside, using glow in the dark paint. I've just found the photos now. #ISS
