Once found a WWII OSRD radar report. Called for a radar that could detect a ship at 100 miles, which needed an antenna at 5000 feet. They could have a 5000 foot mast but that was impractical so it should be on a plane. There was a drawing of a ship with a 5000 foot mast and a plane flying next to it

Mathematician Mina Rees was born #OTD in 1902.
She coordinated work by mathematicians at OSRD during WWII, pushed the development of computers and numerical science as head of mathematics at the Office of Naval Research, and was the first woman to serve as president of the AAAS. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩🔬

C'est quoi ces missiles russes Kalibr présents en Méditerranée ?
La marine ukrainienne a alerté ce dimanche sur la présence en mer Méditerranée de trois navires de guerre russe. Parmi eux, un porte-missiles de croisière potentiellement très dangereux.

Like many historical figures, Vannevar Bush's legacy is not without complexities and potential points of controversy:
1. Role in the Manhattan Project
Bush played a key role in initiating and overseeing the Manhattan Project as head of the Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD).

I think it largely began with Vannevar Bush (director of OSRD during WWII) and his seminal report "Science, The Endless Frontier," advocating for federal investment in basic scientific research, which led to creation of the NSF. He's a key figure missing from this article.

One could assume that these asshats named their company after Vannevar Bush of MIT, honoring his career of science research and service for the US Government (including OSRD, NACA, the Manhattan Project, and NSF). If that is so, they pronounce his name wrong (he claimed it rhymed with "receiver").

Question for our congress reps:
July 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the report that led to the founding NSF & NIH, elevating the US from scientific backwater to world leader in research & discovery. Is now the time to surrender that leadership? If not, what are you doing to prevent it?

‘The second turning point came during World War II, when Vannevar Bush, the director of the OSRD, created the modern partnership between federal government and the country’s research universities...by sponsoring research at universities, the United States could lead the world in... innovations.’
Princeton President Chris Eisgruber today “The attack on Columbia is a radical threat to scholarly excellence and to America’s leadership in research. Universities and their leaders should speak up and litigate forcefully to protect their rights.”

The Cost of the Government’s Attack on Columbia
American universities have given the country prosperity and security. The Trump administration’s attack on academic freedom endangers all of that.
