Dwarf wine, Dwarven wine or Elf drink

Older fly agarics tend to bend their hats upwards into a cup shape. When rain or dew collects in these cups and stays there for a few days, the water absorbs the mushroom’s ingredients, thus forming a natural cold extract which is slightly psychoactive. There are many legends and fairy tales involving people who have enjoyed the wine of elves or dwarves. These people experience strong changes in their perceptions. Place, time and the person themselves seem to be magically “transformed”.

Mathematician. Leader. Heroine. Remembering Hidden Figure Katherine Johnson

Tonight, count the stars and remember a trailblazer. 

We’re saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. She passed away at 101 years old. 

An America hero, Johnson’s legacy of excellence broke down racial and social barriers while helping get our space agency off the ground.

Once a “human computer”, she famously calculated the flight trajectory for Alan Shepard, the first American in space.

And when we began to use electronic computers for calculations, astronaut John Glenn said that he’d trust the computers only after Johnson personally checked the math.

As a girl, Katherine Johnson counted everything. As a mathematician, her calculations proved critical to our early successes in space travel.

With slide rules and pencils, Katherine Johnson’s brilliant mind helped launch our nation into space. No longer a Hidden Figure, her bravery and commitment to excellence leaves an eternal legacy for us all.

“We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.” - Katherine Johnson 1918 -2020 

May she rest in peace, and may her powerful legacy inspire generations to come! What does Katherine Johnson’s legacy mean to you? Share in the comments.

In finnish, November is ”marraskuu”. Marras is an old word for the dead, dying, ghosts and omens of death. Spooky season is not over yet!
