Itβs the birthday of Hedy Lamarr, actress and inventor of the spread-spectrum communication tech behind Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, born #OnThisDay in 1914 bit.ly/36eg2hW
Born in Vienna, Austria, her father inspired her to look at the world with open eyes and often discussed the inner-workings of different machines with her. At age 5, she could be found taking apart and reassembling her music box to understand how it operated.
Her mother introduced her to the arts, and she went on to study acting before becoming a famous Hollywood actress. She nurtured her scientific mind by tinkering in her trailer between takes, sketching a new wing design for airplanes, and creating an upgraded stoplight.
Dozens of scientists and doctors at Sandia are responsible for breakthroughs that helped inform scientific knowledge about #COVID19 and how to combat it bit.ly/34Qre5a#NatLabsInTheFight
Here are just a few ways π§΅
On April 7, Sandia became the first @ENERGY lab to start testing its workforce for #COVID19 infection to protect mission-essential functions, keep the workforce safe and help reduce the spread of the virus.
Using CRISPR-based tech, researchers are conducting trials to create a deployable antiviral countermeasure that can respond to many different viruses, including coronavirus.
