The world has lost Susan Wojcicki, one of the biggest contributors to the tech community, but more importantly one of the kindest, thoughtful human beings in addition to being a great Mom. Let's strive to follow her example and make the world a better place in her honor

Teton Gravity Research @TetonGravity announced the discovery of historic equipment from Brad Washburn & Robert Bates, abandoned in 1937. Washburn was our founding director. This camera, a Fairchild F Eight, from our archives is the same model as those Washburn would shoot.
I was thrilled to speak with @vilasdhar, President of @PJMFnd and expert on #artificialintelligence, during his visit to @museumofscience. We spoke about his mission to expand access to new technologies for positive impact and ways tech is being used today for the global good.
