Episode 226 Katherine Johnson - NASAs Math Prodigy

In this episode, we talk about some of the email weve been getting at familyplotpodcast@gmail.com and some of the messages on our socials.  Arthur and Laura promise to talk more as we slide into Arthur's Corner to discuss his day.  Then we tear into  the story of Katherine Johnson, how she was such a math whiz that one of her professors had to make courses just for her.  She entered high school at just 10 years old!  We cover her life, how she came to work at NACA which later became NASA, how she got her name on a report, how she enjoyed playing bridge at lunch, We also discuss what Dean made for dinner (meatballs in brown gravy, mashed potatoes made with French Onion Dip instead of milk and green beans) and more in this Laura-chosen, man-we-like-smart-women episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
