Born #OnThisDay in 1914 was actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr. As well as acting in 30 films, during the Second World War she co-developed a frequency-hopping guidance system for American torpedoes, the principles of which are used in Bluetooth and WiFi technologies today. #WomenInSTEM

A scientist told me
the real story
is the unfolding of climate change.
And a doctor told me
the real story
is the ongoing pandemic.
And an activist told me
the real story
is the rise of fascism.
And a historian told me
the real story
is that these are all the same story.
