Pattie maes biography of barack obama

Dava Newman SM ’89, SM ’89, PhD ’92, an MIT professor of aeronautics and astronautics whose groundbreaking work has advanced human performance in space with the goal of interplanetary reach, has been named the new director of the MIT Media Lab, effective July 1,

“Leading the legendary Media Lab is a dream for me, and I can’t wait to help write the next chapter of this uniquely creative, impactful, compassionate community,” Newman says. Currently she is the Apollo Program Professor of Astronautics in MIT’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and a faculty member in the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology.

Newman brings a boldly interdisciplinary perspective to a lab famous for its free-ranging approach to technological innovation. Her work has integrated engineering, design, and biomedical research to better understand and facilitate human adaptation to low-gravity environments. Her career interests also encompass educational innovation and access, climate change, the performing arts, and science and technology policy.

Who do you think of when talking about the real beginning of social media? Mark Zuckergebrg, or Pattie Maes? While contemplating most groundbreaking discoveries, we often only hear about visionary male leaders. In reality, many of the greatest minds behind these inventions were brilliant female innovators whose stories stay hidden.

Hard work, dedication, and brilliance often don’t get as much spotlight as they deserve. This is exactly what we’re trying to change with the Hidden Heroes initiative, for which we tell the stories of the passionate individuals behind the most innovative discoveries.

This month, as we celebrate International Women’s Day, we want to bring special attention to all of the female visionaries who have shaped the tech world we know today. It is thanks to their courage, unique visions, and disruptive ideas that our world is moving forward quicker than ever.

Today, we want to pay our tribute by telling their extraordinary stories.
