But how she got things done is amazing. voice-verified

I was reading about her leadership style in the sources. voice-verified

Can you explain how she managed these massive projects when she didn't even have any real authority? voice-verified

Altruistic pirates. voice-verified

I love that visual. voice-verified

And she was also an incredible teacher, which seems like the exact opposite of McClintock's encoding, who hated lecturing. voice-verified

That makes so much sense. voice-verified

My absolute favorite is how she explained nanoseconds. voice-verified

Yes, the wires. voice-verified

So she's trying to get people to understand computer processing speeds, right? voice-verified

So she cuts pieces of wire. voice-verified

She holds up a wire that is exactly eleven point eight inches long and tells people this is the maximum distance electricity can travel in a nanosecond. voice-verified

And then just for comparison, she pulls out this massive coil of wire that is nearly a thousand feet long and says, This is a microsecond. voice-verified

She actually brought those wires onto late night with David Letterman when she was 79 years old, handing them out to the audience. voice-verified

And she stayed on active duty in the Navy until she was 79. voice-verified

So let's run a quick thought experiment for everyone listening. voice-verified

Imagine Grace Hopper gets invited to give a college commencement speech. voice-verified

She stands at the podium and tells the young graduates, go out there, build big teams, navigate corporate bureaucracies, join the military, go on late night television, schmooze the system. voice-verified

Now imagine a young Barbara McClintock is sitting in that audience and she takes that advice to heart. voice-verified

A total disaster. voice-verified
