Black-and-white close-up portrait photograph of Elsie MacGill, the pioneering Canadian aeronautical engineer known as the “Queen of the Hurricanes.” Shown from the shoulders up, she has short, wavy light hair, wears thin round wire-rimmed glasses, and a light collared blouse under a darker jacket, looking slightly toward the camera with a calm, neutral expression against a plain studio background.
Elsie MacGill was the first woman in the world to earn a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering (1929).
The "Queen of the Hurricanes" was a pioneering Canadian aircraft designer who led production of the Hawker Hurricane fighter planes during #WWII. She was born #OTD in 1905.

When I worked at Morressier, we always kept one eye on @curvenote.com So great to see them continue to go from strength to strength, deliver incredible features, and succeed in their mission where we did not.
Amazing things can be done even with a tiny team and great focus.

Quote over a scenic mountain landscape at sunset. The quote reads: “I am seeing this as a turning point at a crucial time.” — Tracy Teal, openRxiv. Snow-covered mountains rise in the background under a clear sky, with evergreen trees and a warm orange glow at the horizon.
Introducing #ComposableScience, a new paradigm for the way science is communicated. Where data, code, figures are shared & credited. Where we can reuse and build on others' work easily.
