Die Mathematikerin Katherine Johnson hat nicht nur den Weg ins All errechnet, sie hat erfolgreich gegen rassistische Vorurteile gekämpft und Geschlechtergrenzen überwunden. Heute vor 127 Jahren wurde sie in West Virginia geboren. #HiddenFigures #DieErstenihrerArt

Remembering Dr. Gladys West (1930-2026), the mathematician whose complex algorithms modeling Earth's shape and satellite data became the foundation for GPS. A true "hidden figure" whose brilliance transformed how billions navigate the world. #GladysWest #GPS #WomenInSTEM #HiddenFigures #STEM #Tech

. Did you know that Dr. Gladys West, a Black mathematician, played a crucial role in developing the GPS technology we all rely on today? So next time Google Maps saves you from getting lost, thank a Black woman! #BlackHistoryMonth #HiddenFigures

Cecilia Payne figured out what stars are made of—hydrogen and helium—but history nearly erased her. She reshaped astronomy, yet men got the credit for years. Don’t let her name be forgotten. #WomenInSTEM #HiddenFigures #HistoryMatters

Today's hero is mathematician #KatherineJohnson, no longer "hidden" because she was a key figure in the success of NASA's Apollo missions, and in the hit movie #HiddenFigures. #GirlPower

Katherine Johnson (August 26, 1918 – February 24, 2020) was an American mathematician whose work at NASA was critical to the success of U.S. space missions, including the first crewed spaceflights.
Born in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, Johnson showed exceptional talent in mathematics from a young age. She graduated from college at 18 and later joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which became NASA in 1958. As part of the space agency’s Flight Research Division, she performed complex manual calculations that guided spacecraft trajectories, launch windows, and emergency return paths.
One of her most notable achievements was verifying the computer-calculated trajectory for John Glenn’s 1962 orbital mission, at his personal request. Her work also contributed to the Apollo 11 moon landing and the early Space Shuttle program.
Johnson overcame both racial and gender barriers in a segregated workforce and became a symbol of excellence, resilience, and quiet determination. Her story gained renewed attention through the book and film Hidden Figures.

Never heard of James McCune Smith? He’s only the first Afro-American to obtain a medical degree, at @uofglasgow.bsky.social, having been denied entry to US universities because he was Black. Also an abolitionist, the man was a total boss 💪🏾 #HiddenFigures en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/J….

A fab Wednesday spent at @uofglasgow.bsky.social talking at the James McCune Smith Annual Conference to many bright, Black minds 🤩 I shared my story, taking the chance to talk about the important role of #geoscience in society, the benefits of diverse teams, and barriers to inclusion 👍🏾

Just rewatched Hidden Figures—an incredible film that highlights the brilliance of Black women whose contributions were ignored because of racism. Their stories were buried for too long, and now some are trying to erase them again. We can’t let that happen. #HiddenFigures #HistoryMatters
