After watching the Hidden Figures movie, immediately tried searching in the net to know more about Katherine and found this. What a remarkable woman, brilliant mind. Makes me wanna learn more about science and technology.

Same here lol. I just finished watching

[@Pulsonar]

It’s fantastic, I am moved, I waited 50 years to see a black woman academic achieve such a great honour at NASA, an organisation that I’ve deeply admired and followed since childhood.

R.I.H, may your family continued to be blessed

[@gfine2000]

She's an inspiration on so many levels. No matter what you do in life, in the words of Katherine G. Johnson, "Just do your best." Thank you, Katherine G. Johnson. My gratitude to you is immeasurable.

[@tambonelson1679]

She is a legend.

Katherine Johnson: "Little did I think I'd be held up like the participation trophy brass ring for the new generation."

The next time your child asks "What do I need to study math for?", tell them this is why...

[@oriraykai3610]

""In honor of Katherine Johnson, the entire building will be devoted to the manual calculation of landing trajectories by human supercomputers, who will sit in these cubicles over here. Computers will not be allowed since we know that's the way Katherine would have preferred it. Computers were very fragile and broke a lot in her day, so she didn't trust them, so no computers or Internet will be allowed in the Katherine Johnson Langley Computing Research facility. We're recruiting in India for these positions now because Katherine Johnson was the last human supercomputer to graduate from the American school system in 1936."

I found this video from an article in the Independent. Nice feel-good story about a fellow mathematician!

[@monicahartman8469]

Let's showcase Ms (Dr?)Johnson's achievements and strength of character. The general viewing public needs to be inspired by her. Perhaps the best way is to slip it into a popular Sitcom. More people will see it. And more people will get inspiration from that favorite TV show.
