“They asked #KatherineJohnson for the moon, and she gave it to them. Wielding little more than a pencil, a slide rule and one of the finest mathematical minds in the country…”
🌖
These are the first lines of pioneering mathematician Katherine Johnson’s obituary in The New York Times today, February 24th, 2020. She was 101 years old.
🚀
I’ve added three videos to TKSST.com, from both @nasa and @libertysciencecenter, that celebrate her trailblazing work and legacy. Link in bio.

An action-filled #boardbook deserves action-filled images! 🍎⬇️ #Physics Animated (link in bio) is informative and fun thanks to sturdy levers and wheels throughout. 🚀 Gravity, mass, friction, centripetal force, inertia, and other laws of physics are introduced with easy-to-understand definitions and interactive bits! 🎢 Swings, rocket ships, rollercoasters, and more. An impression-maker for any 4-7 year old’s library. 📚 It’s in the TKSSTGiftGuide.com.

If you have a paper lunch bag, a microwave, and a ✨dried✨ corn on the cob, you can pop your own popcorn from the cob in just a few minutes. Link in bio for the how-to video. 🍿
Experiment to find out what works in your microwave so that your cob doesn’t smolder and burn. It can help to listen for when the popping slows down, and remember, the bag is hot when you open it! 🌽💥

“It’s almost as though you have an animal in liquid form,” explains Dr. Angela Horner. “They have a really well-adapted body design to move rapidly through a tunnel.” In this excellent video on TKSST.com (link in bio) from @pbsnature: The Mighty Weasel, the #ferret‘s speed and flexibility are both demonstrated. 🦡
Check your local listings for the entire episode! The program synopsis: “Discover the truth about the infamous weasel family, often portrayed as villains and associated with unsavory behavior. We ‘badger’ people, ‘ferret’ out the enemy, and ‘weasel’ out of things. Do these critters deserve their bad reputation?”

🌱🌺🥀 Directed by Tokyo-based #botanical #artist @azumamakoto, #StoryofFlowers (link in bio) showcases the life cycle of #flowers as a wordless explainer. I’m thrilled to share this trailer for what has become one of the more popular #videos on TKSST.com. 🌸
Brilliant for kids and adults alike, the breathtaking floral #animation was illustrated by @katiekatiescott and animated by @jamespaulley.

#Oscar winner! 🏆 #HairLove was launched as a @kickstarter in July, 2017 by former NFL wide receiver turned filmmaker @matthewacherry. It quickly earned over 3x its original funding goal and was picked up by @sonyanimation. On February 9th, 2020, Hair Love won an #AcademyAward for #BestAnimatedShortFilm.
🎀
“This story was born out of seeing a lack of #representation in mainstream animated projects, and also wanting to promote hair love amongst young men and women of color. It is our hope that this project will inspire.” 🎀
